Bluetooth GPS

[purec0de]

Anybody know if it's possible to hook up a stock unrooted KF HDX 8.9 to a bluetooth GPS receiver?
I found an app that offers the software portion of a connection... But I am not sure if the BT supports such a connection?

I know this is a old post but I thought I would post my findings. I don't think it will work without root. I had trouble at first using it on my HDX until I flashed Nexus HDX rom. Then I was able to use Bluetooth GPS app to connect to my garmin bluetooth receiver and everything seemed to work. This is after I enabled mock location in development option. In the stock HDX rom I was able to get it working with a sql editor, changing a value but google maps wouldn't recognize my receiver until I changed to Nexus Rom. However I tried mapquest and other 3rd party apps and they seemed to work on the stock rom.

Thanks for the information, very interesting... currently playing with the Sangria update so may have to wait a while until Root is available again!

at least there is a native Maps application now!
