Start Live Search. Then tap menu and settings. Tell Live Search which Com port to use for your GPS Device. Then when you are on the map tell Live Search to Center on GPS device under the map settings.

Remember your BT GPS has to be set up as an outgoing serial port.

ok here's a quick brief on how I got mine to work. this was done using a ppc6700 running a custom fw and a delorme blue logger gps.

1. turn on gps unit and put it into pairng mode.
2. search for device using ppc6700.
3. pair devices together
4. go back to list of paired devices.
5. tap and hold bluelogger in list. select new outgoing port and choose com8 I used this and it works percectly.
it might be confusing but bear with me as I don't have my gps here right now to go through the exact steps.

once you got the outgoing port set just pick the same port in live and it'll connect.

Once it sets up it tells you where you are in relation to a map and will follow you as you move. What else can you do with it?

if you get directions and use the gps, it shows the next turn for you as you drive, which is nice

That would depend on which com port you assigned when you set it up. Just tell it to use the sme one as you did in the BT setup.
