Dell Axim x51v - bluetooth gps

TheJollyGreyFlyer · #1 (**permalink**) 17-08-2006, 07:15 PM

I have a Dell Axim x51v and a BT GPS unit, unfortunately the software I am using, GPS Speed Sentry and GPS Tuner do not receive any data.

I have made a new partnership and this show as being BT UART on Com5.

I do not have a baud rate for the device, using the GPS Tuner in Auto mode does not find the device.

Any suggestiosn or directs to prvious answers would be useful.

Regards

Sure
Settings - Connections - Bluetooth - (mode turn on) - Devices (new partnership)

Then went to Settings - System - GPS - Programs = COM7 then Hardware whatever your GPS is on (mine COM5 baud 4800)

Then whichever software package being used, went to set up and told it COM7.

Amazing it worked

I hope this helps
