I have the same device and I have gotten it to work flawlessly with Google Maps, TomTom software, and several other PPC applicatiosn.

If I remember the steps, you enable BT, using the Icon in Start>Settings>Connections>BT Icon, check the box to turn on BT.
Click on the devices folder tab, and add new device. This will search for new devices. Once connected, click on COM ports and create an outgoing port. Doesn't need to be COM 8. Mine for some reason, will not set up on COM 8. I set mine up on Com 0. Once this is done it should be connecting fine.

Depending on your application, you may need to set up a GPS Data port.
This is also done in the Connections area again. Select a GPS Data port. Mine, I set up on GPD8 on the Programs folder tab. On the Hardware folder tab set it to your COM Port you set up above.

Now you will need to troubleshoot your application.
What application are you using?
I would just make sure you have the application pointing to your above GPS Com port and the GPD data port.

Last, most applications will not work with GPS UNTIL you are outside and have a valid GPS signal. This includes general testing.
