6300 and bluetooth GPS receiver

I have a 6300 and have just bought a Holux M-1000B GPS bluetooth receiver.  Wondering if I can connect the two, put some maps on the 6300 and use the combination as a walkaround GPS system?  Any pointers, recommended software, links etc?

  • Dual Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver and 3rd Gen iPod Touch

    Has anyone used the Dual  Universal Bluetooth GPS Receiver with a 3rd Generation iPod Touch?  I understand that the Bluetooth connection only works for the headphones so I was wondering how this unit uses the Bluetooth connection.  Does it work?

    I was looking for a way to get around that, as it sounds plausible. But i have had iTunes on a previous machine here at the office and it worked fine. Right now, the only option i have in iTunes with it connected is to "eject" the ipod. Not neccesarrily an error # message, but one does come up that says "iTunes could not connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your network connection is active and try again"
    as for restoring at home, it just goes through the motion on the progress bar, but when it reaches around 100% it says "failed to restore. ___" i cant remember the rest as i was up til 2am, and back awake at 6am trying to figure this out...
    Last night, there was no battery icon, and the screen stayed illuminated in recovery mode...i updated iTunes, and restarted my laptop at home, and now this morning the screen times out and dims, and there is all of a sudden a battery charging icon in the upper right corner. It would not "power down" at all last night...there was no "power off" slide option after holding the button(s)....this morning it will power off.
    It also wouldnt connect to my car radio this morning like it would last night when i came home. The radio doesnt even recognize it anymore.
    here is a quick screenshot of what i see...nothing...with it plugged up...

  • Bluetooth GPS Receiver + MacBook. Any software?

    I just purchased a BT2 Bluetooth GPS Receiver. Is there a software for Mac OS X that I could use to receive live tracking on my MacBook, instead of a PDA?

    I am also interested in setting up the Macbook with a bluetooth GPS receiver for use in the car or when sailing.
    So far I have searched around but haven't found any software with offline maps included.
    The best solution (and cheapest) so far I have found is to use Google Earth and increase its cache size. Then I guess you can run the route beforehand so the roads and images are stored offline ready for use.
    Is there a standalone package with roadmaps (for the UK/Europe) built in for offline use?
    This must also be able to connect to a the bluetooth GPS receiver. Has anyone got any recommendations for these too?
    Thanks,
    Neil

  • IPod Touch and Bluetooth GPS?

    MCM Electronics is advertising a Bluetooth GPS receiver at http://www.mcmelectronics.com/product/58-13300. Would something like this work with my 3rd generation iPod Touch? If so, what app would I need?
    Steve

    The Touch's Bluetooth capability is limited to stereo audio (A2DP) and connecting to other Touches or iPhones for gaming. So no, this device would not pair up with the Touch.

  • 6300 and Bluetooth handsfree problem

    I experience this problem with my 6300 and the BH-700 bluetooth handsfree : When the person on the other end talks my mic gets muted and he can't hear me. Ofcourse this also happens if the other end is at a noisy place and then communication is impossible since my mic is always muted.
    This seems like a problem of the phone since it happens with any bt-handsfree. On the other hand the BH-700 works fine with all other phones I tried...
    I upgraded my phone firmware from 4.7 to 5.0 but the problem still remains. I don't want to think that the hardware implementation of the 6300's bluetooth and simultaneously send and receive data!
    Anyone this problem? Any possible solutions?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I have simillar problem with BT handsfree - the other side has difficulty hearing me, while I can hear fine.
    Do you have any further experience or solution?

  • N73 bluetooth GPS receiver connectivity problem

    I have read many posts regarding the connection drop issue between the N73 bluetooth and GPS receiver. Now everybody is waiting to upgrade to new firmware version. I was just wondering, if just the connectivity is the problem, then is there any GPS receiver which you can conncet to N73 with some cable?? At least you will not loose the connection if at all you managed to install the navigation software.

    Hi forgive my simple question but what is the difference between a LD3W and an LD4W bluetooth reciever as I would like to run either with my N73
    regards pc

  • MBP and Bluetooth GPS dongle

    I bought a Bluetooth GPS dongle for a PDA some years ago. This model:
    http://www.freedominput.com/freedom-accessories/keychain-gps-2000
    Now I wonder whether it is possible to connect and use it with my MacBook Pro. Does it require 3rd party software? If so, any recommendations? Is it possible to make it work with Google maps somehow?
    I have searched for information on this but almost all the postings deal with the use of GPS dongles with the iPhone.
    Thanks a million!

    DeLorme sells Street Atlas USA 2010 separately for $40. They also sell it with the BT-20 Bluetooth GPS adapter for $100. SA USA 2010 does support many GPS devices including 'generic NMEA', but I'm not sure how the Bluetooth communication is handled. Contact their tech support and ask: www.delorme.com
    Note that Street Atlas USA 2010 is a Windows program, so you have to run it under Bootcamp, Parallels, Fusion or the like.

  • Mac Air use with Bluetooth GPS receiver.

    GlobalSat BT-821 appears to meet the specs and claims to work with Apple but online forums are littered with compatibility problems, though most appear to be iPad and iPhone specific. Mac Air doesn't get a mention.
    Anyone got any advice on choice of receiver?

    ExtGPS does the job. Should be operable with most mapping applications.
    Works even with two E90's, other one running Nokia Maps and using other as external GPS over Bluetooth

  • Can I use an external GPS Receiver via Bluetooth?

    Great phone.  I used a Galaxy Nexus for over a year until I got this phone, but once I started using the Z10, I never looked back.  The "Hub" is a GREAT feature, exactly what I use most of the time.  Oddly enough, I was never much of a BB fan until the Z10.
    Anyhow, I have bought several apps and accessories for the Z10.  I rely on my Z10 a lot.
    I still have (from my old Windows Mobile 6 phone days back several years ago) a perfectly working external GPS receiver that has Bluetooth (Holux GPSlim236).  Great little receiver.
    Since I often use my Z10 for GPS nagigation (I am using Mireo DON"T PANIC) for directions whilst riding my motorcycle all day long, with Bluetooth enabled to my helmet, having the GPS radio on as well as Mobile (aka phone) and Bluetooth does drain the battery faster than if I could avoid using the internal GPS at this time (I still want to use the internal GPS at other times).  I do have a data plan, so I could use the internal maps, however, I often ride through places with no data access (back country).
    I was able to pair the Bluetooth GPS Receiver to the Z10 (easy enough), however, there is no option in the "Network Connections" settings area to be able to disable the internal GPS radio, or anywhere else, so I can't tell for sure that this is working (that is, not using internal GPS but using external GPS).  I suspect it is not using the external GPS Receiver, though, since Bluetooth settings indicate "no services" for the external Bluetooth device.
    Is there a way to sometimes use the external Bluetooth Receiver on the Z10 (in order to save battery on long trips)?
    It is also not just for battery power savings, but also when I ride there is no air conditioning, so the phone does get hot, and I suspect would be cooler if I used an external GPS receiver via already-enabled-anyways Bluetooth.
    Thanks

    I am not sure my original message was clear.
    I have th Z10, it has GPS software and a built-in GPS radio receiver.  I also have an external GPS radio receiver, not a GPS device.  It is strictly a radio receiver.  I used to use it years ago on my Windows Mobile device - the software with maps was on Windows Mobile, and the GPS receiver hooked up via Bluetooth.
    The GPS receiver in the Z10 uses the Z10 battery.  I have the Bluetooth on anyhow to connect to my helmet headset.  Since Bluetooth is on already, I could save Z10 battery by using the external GPS radio receiver (disable the internal GPS radio receiver), thought the map software would still run on the Z10.
    So, the previous response says "does have GPS profile" but also says "external GPS will not work:".
    I am not sure the statement was respect to my setup.
    What I really need is for the Z10 Bluetooth to see the external GPS receiver, perhaps as a serial  device or as a GPS device, howsoever such things work, and for the GPS map software to use the external rather than try to use the internal (the map software should not really care, it should be the OS that virtualises the GPS port).

  • MBP and GPS Receiver

    Hi Guys,
    I've got a Nokia Bluetooth GPS Receiver (worked wonderfully with my Nokia N73 and TomTom Mobile until some tool stole the phone). I'm wondering if there is any software I can use to link the Bluetooth receiver to my MacBook Pro and use that as my GPS unit??
    Thanks!!

    Have you googled, "Nokia Bluetooth GPS Receiver and macintosh"?

  • Network based and a-gps, data use tests

    i was trying to find this kind of info, but only found others asking.
    i hope this is useful info for others, especially while roaming.
    skip to the bottom for conclusion,
    this is the process i took:
    i called nokia tech support,
    their phone support his horrible,
    the people on the phone don't actually know anything, and have to look up everything you ask them.
    they were the worst.
    i emailed nokia tech support.
    my message was:
    "i would like to know the difference between assisted gps positioning, and network based positioning. these are 2 of the 4 options on my nokia e66 for positioning methods. i would like to know if network based positioning uses internet data from my service provider to obtain my gps position. i am especially concerned with this function while i'm roaming internationally, as i do not want to be charged for roaming data use."
    in about half hour they responded w/ an answer, and then 45 min after that someone else responded w/ an answer.
    the first response, minus the hello's etc. was:
    "In response to your email, Assisted GPS and Network Based positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic so you will be charged for data use. Only "normal" GPS and Bluetooth GPS do not generate additional costs related to data traffic.
    Normal GPS is quite slow and does not work indoors. Therefore, it is recommended to enable at least A-GPS to get a faster position outdoors.
    Network based and Wi-Fi positioning also allow you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation."
    the 2nd response was:
    "In response to your inquiry, the difference between Assisted GPS positioning (A-GPS) and Network based positioning is that,  A-GPS uses satellites while Network based positioning is based on information of your cellular network environment. It allows you to update your position inside buildings, but they cannot be used for navigation. Both positioning methods generate costs related to data traffic (unless you have configured the device to use Wi-Fi connection to make the internet connection). The cost may vary while you are on roaming. Kindly contact the service provider for information about data transmission costs."
    i can also respond w/ more questions, but instead did some tests, starting with sitting home, indoors, and eventualy moving to a window w/ lots of sky.
    test 1:
    i enabled:
    integrated gps
    network based
    assisted gps
    opened maps,
    set maps to be offline,
    set default internet access point to my home wlan network,
    closed maps,
    cleared all counters and the log on the phone's communication log.
    opened maps
    there is a pink circle around the area i may be in,
    the icon that would show gps satellite strength, changes to show the cell phone antenna icon.
    but the packet data counter is sending/receiving a total of around 3-8kb immediately, and over the course of time, it keeps adding up, every 1-2 minutes, and it is shown as packet data to/from the access point "at&t internet"
    over the course of ten minutes, it's been about 43kb.
    and i can tell on the phone's home screen that the packet data connection becomes active when it does.
    the maps kb indicator still says 0.0kb, with a line through the double arrow packet data symbol.
    test 2:
    now i exited maps,
    cleared the counters and logs
    i turned off a-gps.
    enabled only integrated gps and network based.
    i open maps,
    the same thing is happening as with the assisted gps on, except i connected to my home wlan once, in the middle of connecting to at&t internet 10 or so times.
    everything else is happening the same.
    test 3:
    i exited maps,
    cleared the counters and logs.
    enabled only integrated gps.
    i open maps, and there is no evidence of packet data connection, or wlan connection.
    nothing is showing up in the logs or packet counters, and there is no pink circle around where i may be.
    if i set maps to go online, w/ my wlan as the access point, or at&t internet, their respective icons show up on maps, as well as the phone's home screen.
    the phone's log show respective connections are made but w/ 0.0kb, and the phone's packet counter, as well as the maps kb usage, say 0.0kb.
    test 4:
    set maps to offline, w/ my wlan as access point.
    exited maps,
    turned phone off for a bit to test gps from cold start.
    turned on phone,
    cleared counters/logs,
    enabled only assisted gps and integrated gps.
    open maps, there's no pink circle around where i may be, just the red dot of where it thought i last was.
    there's about 4-5kb of data transfer,
    then i bring the phone to the window where there's a lot of clear sky, and my location is found pretty fast.
    i know that w/o assisted gps, w/ only integrated gps, it takes a while to get the gps signals.
    i went back and forth to/from the window, and there was packet data use again only once more, not continuously like w/ network based positioning.
    so to conclude my tests,
    setting the maps to be offline, still uses a-gps and network based positioning.
    network based uses a more data, continuously,
    which is the opposite of what i thought, i thought a-gps would use more, so i was using network based on and a-gps off while in canada. whoops.
    using assisted gps uses about 5-10kb, which, when roaming, according to at&t, they charge 1.95cents/kb.
    might be worthwhile for getting a quick gps signal, nothing worse than waiting forever for it to connect.
    the only way to be completely clear of data use is disable network based and assisted gps, or set the phone to offline mode.

    A-GPS: This uses information from cell network to get a rough idea of where you are. It then uses this information to figure out which satellites to look for. Result is a faster satellite lock. So A-GPS uses a few kB of data to get an initial position, but navigation is done using GPS satellites, which does not require ANY data connection.
    Network based: This uses information from the cell network to plot the current position when GPS satellite signal is not available, ie indoors, in a tunnel, etc. Position info derived from the cell network is not as accurate as that from GPS satellites, but serves as a stopgap until GPS signal can be re-acquired. Network based positioning used your data connection EACH TIME the satellite lock is lost. So the amount of data used is dependent on the quality of access you have to the GPS satellites. If you don't lose the connection to the GPS satellites, then you won't use any data.
    The ‘offline’ option within the Nokia Maps app only refers to street, POI, etc searches, NOT to A-GPS, Network based positioning or to connecting with the GPS satellites.
    If you want to navigate without using ANY data connection, set A-GPS off AND set Network based positioning off AND set the Internet option in Nokia Maps to Offline. Do this and you will not use any of your data connection allowance when navigating. There is no need to put the phone into flight mode.
    If I've helped you, you can thank me by clicking the green 'kudos' star on my post. Cheers.

  • N95 8GB with external GPS receiver

    Not being too happy with the internal receiver on my N95 I bought and external one (HBTGPSOL BT Solar GPS Bluetooth GPS Receiver by Hamletcom.com).
    It is very easy to connect by bluetooth but I cannot figure how to switch the phone from using the internal receiver to the bluetooth one.
    Any ideas ???
    Message Edited by linwood on 23-Jun-2008 12:15 PM

    You will get a meassage asking you whether or not you want to activate bluetooth everytime you run Maps. If you say yes, it goes to bluetooth if you say no it goes to the internal GPS receiver.
    There is no real need to disable the others.

  • N80 Bluetooth GPS Problems ???

    Navicore have a Symbian series 3 version of their navigation software available unfotunately they do NOT support the N80, their official reply to me :
    'It has been unfortunately identified that there are some problems in the Bluetooth connection between N80 and a GPS receiver. Therefore an application like Navicore using a Bluetooth GPS connection does not work in a reliable way. The problem is under further investigation and we shall add N80 to the list of compatible phones as soon as there is a solution available.'
    is there an official reeponse from Nokia to this ????Message Edited by energylevel on 19-Jul-2006

    I have the same problem with Nokia N80 (firmware V 3.0617.0.6). You can take a look at this thread:
    http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=connectivity&message.id=2715&...
    So far I haven't received Nokia feedback and looks like no newer firmware exists at the moment.

    No. Bluetooth only works for Audio.
