[Q] GPS Problem with SmOoTher_BeAn - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I'm running the latest SmOoTher_BeAn mod and love how much more responsive my gTab is. I do have a problem getting my bluetooth GPS receiver to work. It is properly paired but my nav app (Sygic) doesn't seem to recognize it. I then sideloaded the BluetoothGPSProvider.apk which worked on a previous TeamDRH ICS install but it doesn't work on JB. Any ideas on how I can get my GPS receiver to work?
Thanks,

Anyone?

whether can realize navigation in gtablet by connecting a garmin GPS?

we know that we can realize navigation in gtablet by connecting GPS model~
but I wonder whether we can realize navigation in gtablet by connecting a garmin GPS(my garmin GPS type is 295w) by using the usb port?
thanks~
i dont think so garmins gps is not set up to share its gps data over usb or bluetooth. you best bet is to get a bluetooth gps unit and use bluegps on the gtab to get navigation they modules run about 20-60 dollers for most and work just great.
Garmins don't work. I have two and neither will share their gps signal.

Actually Garmin gpsr's do share their signal via usb. I have used my gpsmap 60csx with my wndows laptops using garmin software Nroute and their mapping software. I am still looking for a method to use it with android.

But doesn't that require that the software can read the usb signal? I haven't found anything on android that will do this.
I went with a Tom Tom Navigator 6 gps unit (approximately the size of a pack of gum) and BlueGPS on the tablet. It works a little strange since you pair to the gps unit but it never "connects". It just appears in the BlueGPS service and it available to all the gps enabled apps on the g-tab.
I also use Tomtom Bluetooth GPS with CoPilot live 8.
Works great.
Although to answer OP's question about USB connection:
Viewsonic ROMs based on 1.1 version didn't have much of USB functionality.
Now, with 1.2 version released there is more USB support, as keyboard and mouse and several others.
I do not have 4391 installed yet, so cannot try it out.
Maybe someone else running recent ROM can try to connect USB based GPS and let us know?
I'm looking into gettin garmin_gps module for my CM9 galaxy i9000 running 3.0.8-g4cf4918.
anybody has any hint on how to build the module? thanks a lot

CM7 + external GPS device + Sygic

Hi, i have an external bluetooth GPS device (Nokia LD-3W) and i tried to use it with my Touchpad running CM7 Alpha 2.1, but got no luck yet.
I can install the sygic app without problems, but i get a FC when i try to start it...
Maps application als FC's
Anyone maybe got something similar working?
I used "Bluetooth GPS Provider" from MOBILE-J.DE to link my Holux GPSlim 236 to the TouchPad.

Use Bluetooth GPS from the market and this will search and find all bluetooth devices and you pick the one you want.
I have linked two different GPS receivers without problem.
Agreed, Bluetooth GPS works beautifully with my Holux M-1200 GPS receiver.

[Q] Can't pair bluetooth headset on CM7.1

Hey guys,
I recently install the CM7.1 on my Atrix 4g and it looks great. Everything seem to be working fine except that I can't pair my jawbone icon bluetooth headset.
I searched on Google and here (xda forum) and found other people having similar problems but couldn't find a fix for mine.
Is this a know issue with CM7.1?
If anyone knows the fix for this could you paste a link?
Much appreciated.
dont u think cm7.1 is old? haha. i think is a bug if its install latest cm7 like rc or idk

Nope. I have the lastest version of the CM7 for my cell.
Besides, the main threat for the CM7 Motorola Atrix says:
The current version of CM7 for the Atrix does not yet support the following:
- Webtop
- Fingerprint Scanner
- Pocket Detector
- Horizontal HDMI Mirroring
Therefore, I'm assuming that the headset bluetooth should work. If the developers found later that there is a problem with bluetooth they could easily had edited/updated that post.
Anyone?
