GPS 10 bluetooth pairing.
Posts: n/a
working with my Palm Tungsten T3, with mapopolis and pathaway, in a
snap. But I can't get it working with my laptop.
On the Palm I first paired the devices, using the secret code '1234'.
With Mapopolis or Pathaway on the Tungsten I just select bluetooth gps,
and then it asks me which bluetooth device I want to connect to. Then
it connects and I start navigating via NMEA sequences.
With the laptop (an IBM T40 with integrated bluetooth, with the WIDCOMM
stack 1.4.3 build 4 SP 0) I can pair the device. But when I try to
explore the services offered by the device I see know serial port. In
the bluetooth configuration I have, long ago, set up an incoming COM
port configured on COM5 (I use this to synch my Palm with my Laptop).
Seems to me I need to set up an outcoming COM port, which I think I did
in the "client applications" section. There is a COM6 configured
there.
Problem is I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to get that
COM6 associated with any particular bluetooth device!
Arghh..
This is getting desparate. Garmin's website is useless. I might have
to try phoning them or something, but I'd get some no-mind CSR
person...
