Configure Smartphone for Google Mobile Maps with Bluetooth GPS
Comm Manager: Pair Bluetooth GPS, Enable Outgoing COM Port
 1. Bluetooth Settings |  2. Devices |  3. New |
 4. "BT GPS", Next |  5. Check Serial Port, Done |  6. COM Ports |
 7. New Outgoing Port |  8. Select a port, Done |
Manually configure WM5 GPS "Intermediate Driver" API Settings with Registry Edits
KEY: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver]
VALUE: "IsEnabled", DWORD set to 1
KEY: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers]
VALUE: "CurrentDriver" STRING set to "BT GPS"
KEY: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\BT GPS]
VALUE: "FriendlyName" STRING set to "BT GPS"
VALUE: "InterfaceType" STRING set to "COMM"
VALUE: "CommPort" STRING set to "COM?:"
where '?' = COM port number you set up as your BT interface in the first step
Registry Editor / Registry Editor via ActiveSync
Notes: Smartphone must be app-unlocked to run third-party applications like the registry editor found above. If the registry keys and values don't exist, create them. Double-check the key and values, especially the colon at the end of the CommPort string. Make no mistake!
Restart the Smartphone following registry edits.
Alternative: Run the .cab file attached below. (Only for COM6 as shown above. Feel free to change the CommPort string to reflect your preferred COM port number if it's not COM6.) Run at your own risk!
Alternative 2: Microsoft GPSID is utility that lets you configure your Smartphone's GPS Intermediary Driver (GPSID).
"It turns out that a GPSID configuration utility that exactly mirrors the Pocket PC version is nestling away in the 'Tools' directory of the Windows Mobile 6 Standard SDK Refresh! If you're a BlackJack II owner, a Motorola Q9H owner or basically anyone wanting to configure GPS on a Smartphone, then you NEED this utility!"

Go to START---SETTINGS----SYSTEM---EXTERNAL GPS. Then on Programs Port use NONE, on Hardware Port use COM1 and on Access check Manage GPS .......and OK it
Now go to COMM MANAGER (you know... drag you finger from bottom to top, bring the little screen and drag you finger left or right until you find it) Click on it then on the botom right click on SETTINGS, choose BLUE TOOTH On Devices look for your already configurated GPS Receiver (mine is a BT-GPS-364183) click and hold it until EDIT and DELETE comes up, click on EDIT, check SERIAL PORT click OK, go to Mode check TURN ON BLUE TOOTH and MAKE THIS DEVICE VISIBLE TO ...... on COM Ports click and hold on your GPS Receiver (if none click on NEW OUT GOING PORT and choose your GPS Receiver) on PORT select COM1, again on PORT select COM1 and OK it. THAT'S IT Open google maps and use your GPS |

Finally got this to work... here are the gotchas I ran into:
-After copying the CAB files to my BlackJack, I found they didn't show up in MyStuff. I had to go back to ActiveSync and put shortcuts to them on the Start menu to run/install them. -RegEditSTG is *very* confusing at first. When the left soft key says Values, it means it's displaying Keys, and Menu | 1 is New Key. Press Values and it says Keys, which means you're looking at Values, and can create a Value. Wow! Once you figure that out it's easy though. -Eventually I realized that the Bluetooth device "BT GPS" has to match the registry entries "BT GPS". My iBlue737 default device name was "iBT-GPS". I decided to change the registry entries to match. -Yes, I forgot the colon after the CommPort value! -One more restart and it worked! Thanks a million!!! It's terrific to have a $60 puck and free software doing real-time navigation. DaveO. |
