Thanks for the help on this. I was getting frustrated with my new BT GPS was just not hooking up but the above settings got me in and working. I got the GPS-BT760Y from Wonde X at http://www.semsons.com/wobtbtgpss44.html I am using Google Maps, iGuidance, and Wififofum with GPS service working perfectly. Thanks a bunch for the help.

since i use tomtom...

I have it set up this way, but TomTom tells me that there is no valid GPS signal. Walked outside to see if the receiver would catch a signal an no luck.

Any other ideas? I'm using the Holux M-1200 as my receiver...

[divxrippimp]

your phone is FOR sure synced with the bt gps from the bt settings menu... and you selected serial port when you connected to it so it uses the virtual serial port?

Yes, and then I used the COM settings from your post above.

The TomTom software is different as it connects directly to the GPS rather than using WM's "application" comm port.

I have an M-1200 as well (this thing rocks, BTW. Small, stays on my keychain and works great EVEN IN MY POCKET!). After I paired it, I set up a new outgoing port under COM Ports in the Bluetooth settings. Once that was done, I went into the external GPS settings and use the software port to 0 and the hardware port to com5.

Now when I use TomTom, I have to tell it to use comm 5 but all other programs, like Google maps, use comm 0.

Btw, I haven't been able to find ANY comm ports that are "reserved" by default. There is nothing that could reserve them.

[divxrippimp]

They arnt being used, it just gives you an error saying th port isnt free... or at least it always does on mine...

[jamesus]

Ugh...i feel like a noob all over again...

I've tried everything from a configuration standpoint, so let me ask this...

For those who have the Holux M-1200, does your orange LED blink or remain solid?

[Gilliland]

When the unit is searching for satelites, the light is solid. Once it has found enough satelites to determine your location, the light blinks. Blinking is the normal state.
