Hi all!
I want to use a bluetooth gps with my hero. i can pair the hero with the bluetooth gps, but i can't connect with it.
I know that there is a gps in the hero, but i want to use this app:
http://trackmaster.trackaroo.com/welcome
Which is far more accurate with an external unit on a track. Moreover, my car as a athermical windshield, and i would like to put the bluetooth unit in the back of the car to avoid signal cut.
The app use this add on to exploit external gps unit: bluetooth gps service: but in the description of the app we can read: htc hero not support bluetooth gps.
In my search on google, i could read that htc devices doesnt support SPP profile.
Any chance to find something to make it work??
Ps: i found the app "Bluetooth gps" which work like a charm with my external gps, so it can work, but how?

Hello all,
I was just curious. Im considering purchasing an external bluetooth GPS receiver and running TomTom on my device when im driving.
I also currently use a bluetooth handsfree device.
Am i able to use both bluetooth devices?
I have no problems connection a bluetooth GPS (Holux 236) and a handsfree device (Nokia HS12W) together (and using them at the same time).
HTC branded TYTN.
Only downside might be in the way the applications address the display. Nokia Smart2Go doesn't seem to like the phone application interrupting it... (it works, but phone application doesn't show)

TomTom works fine with the phone.
If we used an app that had pre-downoaded maps like Co-piolet, are there any gps recievers that we could plug in?
I am curious about this myself. I have found plenty of people using bluetooth gps receivers, and I myself have gpstether working. I wouldn't mind using a usb gps receiver though since they can be had for a little cheaper than the bluetooth ones it seems.
I've been looking for an app like this as well. Apparently, we need a separate kernel module loaded to get the USB serial port accessible within Android. But this kernel module is available. Then it's just a matter of parsing the NMEA data and putting it into a location provider.
If I don't find anything, I might just do it myself. I have a USB GPS receiver that can output at 10Hz that I want to use. Or I might just get a kit to convert it to bluetooth if I have to.
Installed GPS Tether on my galaxy S and gTab yesterday, very sweet and fast response.
I'm using the GPS Logger Bluetooth RBT-2300 (bought it long time ago for photography geotagging) with the "Bluetooth GPS" free from the market. Once is paired and connected I'm using Locus Pro
I have galaxy 10.1 and would like to know if anyone has ever used it with a "backup" camera in a car and also connected it to an external GPS antenna?
I've read the cable forums and there are no pins for "video in" or anything for GPS antenna. My goal is to permanently install Wi-fi version in console in car (current monitor is "dumb" 10" LCD). Touchscreen Galaxy with cached maps and ability to use external GPS antenna and have video inputs would be ideal.
I realize I could piecemeal all the components (separate GPS with USB, WiFi for video camera, etc) but the wired option would be cheaper replacement.

You can buy a cheap bluetooth gps and then install an app called bluetoothGPS on your tablet. It reads the data off the external gps via bluetooth and displays it on the screen. Dont think there is support for video though

Is there a way or an app to let me use my bluetooth GPS receiver without enable the Mock location? I want to play ingress but Galaxy S' gps sucks and try to use an external one...
Any advice?
Get a CM10 ROM and you can select GPS source
Hi all,
I have a car, which has a windscreen with additional anti-UV layer (violet-like, when looking at it from the outside). Unfortunately thus windscreen successfully restricts any kind of radio transmission (eg. GPS signal, anti-radar detection, etc.). I've bought a standalone GPS bluetooth receiver (Nokia LD-3W), this sort of devices has much better signal reception than internal one. It can receive signal indoor, no matter which floor I am on. My plan was to put it at the back of my car, in the windowed trunk. And then, Houston, we have a problem...
Android does not support external GPS receivers by itself. You have to download a bluetooth gps app from the GP (one of the best is called Bluetooth GPS). Turn bloetooth on, turn on mock location in programming options (you have to, because internal GPS will still be on; turning of locations in android disconnects from the external GPS), turn mock GPS in the Bluetooth GPS app, and then, theoretically, you can use your external GPS. Yes, it works, but...
Many, many apps have a check for the mock location and refuse to work with these settings... Some navigations, all radar-warners used in my country, family locators and many more.
I'm eagerly looking for a way to patch an app to disable this check (Lucky Patcher?) or any other way to solve this problem.
Thanks,
SQBI
