Ok so, this is for any poor soul that got suckered into buying a BT-5 GPS reciever to be used with Bell's HTC Touch, with Windows Live Search, and/or Google Maps.

I got the GPS unit thinking it was a bargain, only to be distressed for the past 2 days trying to setup this device with virtually NO DOCUMENTATION.

But allass, I got it working! Here's what worked for me 100%...

1. - FULLY charge BT-5 GPS Unit.
2. - In Mobile goto.. Start > Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > Mode
3. - Check, Turn on Bluetooth, and make device visible.
4. - Goto Devices, and find BTGPS (this took me like 5 mins to find it...KEEP TRYING..)
5. - Use 0000 as the passcode.
6. - Check off 'Serial Port', then click finish
7. - Go into Bluetooth > COM Ports, and add, COM2. (I unchecked Secure Connection, should make response faster...)
8. - In Mobile goto.. Start > Settings > System > External GPS
9. - In Programs Tab, select COM1, and in Hardware tab select, COM2 with a Baud Rate of 4800.
10. - In windows live search, OR google maps (or both), simply remember to use COM1 as your GPS setting.


It can't get any more detailed than this. It is fast in finding GPS signal. shows when I'm driving etc... now if I could only find a better FREE voice enabled Nav. Software for my phone...

Hope this helps!
