GPS out: Bluetooth

PPC-6700 settings:
GPS settings on the 6700:
PROGRAM: COM8
HARDWARE: COM0
Bluetooth settings:
Incoming :COM0
iGuidance: COM8

Does anyone know if this is even possible?
If the SCP-7050 can host a bluetooth serial port service, it should be possible. Make sure that on the PPC6700 bluetooth settings under devices that the SCP-7050 shows up in some form and that a serial port service is available and checked.

Also, I think the bluetooth setting should be for an outgoing port - outgoing in the sense that it connects the bluetooth software to the outside world (I think that's what it means - it seemed counterintuitive to me).

I don't know what the iGuidance port is - if that is the setting in the iGuidance software that should be OK, if it is a bluetooth setting that would screw things up.

I use Live Search with the following settings with my HoLux GPSlim240:
Bluetooth->Device->HoLux GPSlim240->Serial Port checkbox checked
Bluetooth->COM Ports->HoLux GPSlim240 outgoing port COM0
External GPS->Programs->GPS Program Port->COM6 (COM8 sometimes conflicts with other things)
External GPS->Hardware->GPS Hardware Port->COM0
External GPS->Hardware->Baud rate:4800
Live Search->Settings->GPS Intermediate Driver (earlier versions I used COM6)

Hope that helps.
