Bluetooth GPS Receiver problem

maraneric · #1 (**permalink**) 06-22-2007, 11:00 AM

I just got my phone yesterday, and I am trying to pair my Visiontac VGPS-700 bluetooth gps receiver with it. However, when I click "Add new device...", the receiver is not found. If I try to do it in Telenav, a device with the mac address as a name is found, but the receiver does not show that it is successfully paired. GPS doesn't work either. The receiver works fine with my Treo 700p.
I know that bluetooth is working okay because I can find my Treo and my computer.

Does anyone know what could be going wrong here, or what I can do to fix it?

So, does anybody have any idea what is going wrong? Does anyone else have the same receiver as me (it worked great for my treo)? It just sucks that I can't get it to work with the new phone.

Thanks,
Eric

did you set up the gps settings?

This is from my 6700 on wm5, but I would think it is probably the same. After you pair the gps you need to create a new outgoing com port connection and associate it to the gps. On the 6700 it is in bluetooth settings under the com port tab. I use com4 as was suggested by my gps manual. Mught be a little different on the titan, but should be something similar. Hope this helps.

Maybe I wasn't clear before. The bluetooth gps receiver would not even pair. The mogul does not "see" it as a bluetooth device. Therefore, none of the "do this after its paired" helps because it will not even pair. I spent quite a bit of time exchanging emails with the manufacturer, and eventually, they wanted me to exchange it for a new one. I just returned it, though, because it was not a problem with the receiver. It used to work fine with my treo.

Thanks anyways, though.

My GPS receiver works fine with my Mogul, however my Panasonic KX-TH111 Link to Cell home phone system refuses to work. The mogul can see the phone system while attempting to pair, however it ALWAYS states eith bad code or error. This BT stack is worse than the VZW700WX Stack. I hope it doesnt take 6 months to get some decent BT up in here!
