i just have a quick question. is there any gps software out there right now that can be configured to transmit the voice directions via bluetooth head set? Right now i currently run the TomTom software and its great but the speaker is just so quiet on the mogul that i can hardly hear it.
btaudio
btaudio.zip will redirect all audio to bluetooth.
Do a google search, I don't know what forum I got it from.

TomTom comes through the speaker of my XDA2, not my BT201 Headset. I am running the 'latest' O2 ROM upgrade v1.60.50:
TomTom support informed me "2. Using a Bluetooth headset as well as the Bluetooth GPS receiver has been tested positively on this PDA. Please contact the O2 Support if your PDA does not connect to two Bluetooth devices at the same time. "
I've tried contacting O2 Support & given up after 30 minutes on TWO occasions
Any help appreciated!
I believe that this is correct but you have just misinterpreted what they have said. I think that what they mean is you can still use your BT headset for making and receiving calls while using the BT GPS receiver, this doesn’t mean the sound will go out through the BT headset, this isn’t possible.
However having said that, I don’t actually own a BT GPS receiver so I can't be 100% sure, I could be wrong and if I am I'm sure one will correct me.
I can confirm that using my Bluetooth Headset with a Holux GR230 bluetooth receiver is working fine for making and receiving calls in tomtom 3. But to get tomtom instructions throught the headset would by nice too, but I think there are still bluetooth profiles missing?? (audio profile?) I have installed Bluetooth tools.

hello, i use an new os xda mini s. i will use it with bluetooth-gps and tom tom navigator 5 in my car. can i also use an bt-headset at the same time to place a phonecall?
greets,

Sure, I do this all the time with my K-Jam, the external speaker will stop during a phone call. If you use BT toggle to direct gps voice prompts thorough your bt headset the call will still ring through and put the audio from the gps on hold until the call ends. I've hooked up an fm transmitter to the headphone jack and played gps voice prompts through the car stereo and they continue even if a call comes through the bt headset. Hope this answers your question.
I've been searching here and eleswhere and can't find a answer so I finally decided to ask. If I posted this in the wrong forum I'm sorry, but I have a SGP5 so I figured this would be the place to start.
I have a app that I can run on my SGP5 that controls the functions of a communications radio (Ham Radio) over the Bluetooth serial protocol. What I need is a way to get the audio from the radio to the speakers on the SGP5. I do have a BT A2DP clip-on headset (built in mic & plug in earbuds) on order. From what I understand, the Android system only allows one mic/spk combination (internal, plug-in, bluetooth) to be used at a time. What I need is to route the radio audio into the headset mic, over the paired/connected bluetooth link, to the SGP5, and have it heard out the internal speakers. And the reverse, SGP5 mic to headset speaker. Not finding anyone doing something like this (using for remote mic pickup or as a baby Monitor for example) makes me think that it can't be done.
So my question is: Is this a Software (app) issue, a Firmware (rooting) issue, or is it set in stone in hardware?
Thanks for any answers/suggestions.

I posted this a while back in the Samsung Galaxy Player forum and didn't get any replies so I thought I'd repost it here in case someone has a answer.

I just installed the new update to Google Maps 7.0.2 and I have a question: When I am in my car, I use the Bluetooth connection so I can receive phone calls through the car speakers. If I use Google Navigation but say, I am listening to the radio, I can't hear the Navigation voice directions, since Google Maps is sending the audio through Bluetooth, but the car system is tuned to Radio, not Bluetooth.
Is there any way to force the audio instructions in Google Navigation through the phone speaker only when the phone is connected via Bluetooth? Otherwise, if you use Bluetooth for calls, you are forced to have your car audio on Bluetooth streaming all the time if you want to hear navigation instructions. What if you want to listen to radio or CD and at the same time hear the navigation instructions?
By the way, Waze has this setting. It is called "Play sound to phone speaker", which overrides the BT connection, which is in fact what I would like to do in Google Navigation.
Thanks!

It sounds like it might be an issue with your radio. I'll test mine and see what it does and let you know.
