Connecting gps bluetooth

I would like to know if it is possible to connect a Bluetooth GPS to my iPad (version 1 with IOS 5) and to use it with Google maps.
Thank you.

The Bluetooth on iPad is mainly use to connect Earphone, Headset and Keyboard.
Doubt you can connect a GPS device.

  • Issues between iPhone and external GPS bluetooth

    I have paired my Garmin GPS bluetooth with my 3G iPhone. Seemed to work fine. I could call and talk through the GPS speaker-mic.
    However, realized today that when receiving a call, 1) the GPS ring, and I answer by clicking the answer button on the GPS. However, I do not hear the caller. Only way was to press the speaker ON the iPhone and talk handsfree through the iPhone !!
    Also realized I can use the car speakers when iPhone iis connected through car AUX, and simply use the iPhone mic.
    Cool, BUT : we're talking about driving safe here... What am I missing so there could be a simple way to make or answer calls without having to play around with both iPhone or GPS or disconnecting the AUX cable, whenever a call is coming ??
    Unless (and I hope) I am missing something, I am getting to conclude that iPhone was not designed with mobile-slash-driving security in mind.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Well, I use a bluetooth headset with my iPhone when I drive. I have familiar people set with different ringtones, so when the phone rings, I know without looking who it is. All I do then is press the button on my headset and talk. Press it again to hang up. If it is my default ringtone, then I just look down at the phone for a second to see who it is and decide whether or not to answer it.
    As far as your other statement about having to perform checks everytime a call comes in, I'm not sure I understand what you are referring to, unless it is my statement about checking the phone. I would recommend that you test that while in the driveway of you home before venturing out on the road. It may be a limitation on that particular version of Garmin. I know not all of them work 100% with the iPhones.
    I agree about searching for a song on the iPod as being dangerous. If you cannot find a handsfree solution, then I wouldn't use the phone except for when you are stopped. I agree it isn't worth a fine or worse!

  • Can iPhone work with GPS Bluetooth module?

    Hi, Is might be a stupid question, but I've searched and not found a reply...
    I have an extern gps bluetooth module, is it possible to install a Garmin program on iPhone and connect via iPhone's bluetooth to gps bluetooth, will Garmin work on iPhone then (if it possible to install Garmin on iPhone)?
    thx

    This is for Dan & Hexonxonx.
    I have an iPhone and a Garmin 660 GPS and have them synced and really like what I have achieved so far, with the handsfree phone etc. I have used the FM tuner (on the GPS) and music on the GPS plays through the car speakers. My question: Can I get the music from my iPhone to play through the car speakers via the GPS FM tuner? Same with audio book? If so, how do I do that!
    Thanks.

  • Tom Tom GPS Bluetooth

    Why does my Tom Tom Bluetooth GPS not connect to my IPAD

    Your response is very confusing, as my ipad is wifi only and cannot make calls and does not have a built in GPS receiver. This is why I am trying to connect a Bluetooth GPS receiver to enable the use of apps with maps for navigation etc. that are available on the ipad.
    In theory any Bluetooth device should connect as Bluetooth is a standard interface. It does, however, rely on the operating system and app software being able to communicate with the device.
    I have found more information since posting this question. It appears that only certain GPS receivers are compatible, but I am not sure why, probably because the ipad software does not support the device. Guess I have probably answered my own question here.

  • I'm trying to connect a BlueTooth headset to my Mac Mini. I can discover it, but soon after discovery it disconnects. Can't figure out how to reconnect. My only option seems to be re-discovery

    I can discover the headset, but soon after discovery it disconnects. Haven't been able to figure out how to try to re-connect. And the help section titled "Use BlueTooth has absolutely no information on how to use it. All I can do is re-discover it. Every time I rediscover it, it disconnects shortly afterward. This headset works well with both my iPhone and iPad and has for quite some time. But it won't stay connected to my Mac.

    Tried with another headset that works fine with iPhone and iPad. An LG HBS700. Same problem. It connects for maybe 10 seconds and then disconnects. So it must be a problem on the Mac. But this Mini is out of warrentee so taking it into an Apple store to get it repaired isn't a good solution. Maybe as a last resort.
    Is there a way to select connect on the Mac? Everything else I've connected a BlueTooth device to has both a command for pairing and a command for connecting or reconnecting. I can't figure out how to select connect on the Mac.

  • TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

    I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work).  "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
    That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

  • No alerts when connected with bluetooth

    Hello I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra and a iPhone 5 running iOS 7.  When my phone is connected via Bluetooth and I'm listening to fm or xm radio my phone automatically places my text and email notifications to vibrate

    Hi WetFishStick,
    If you are having an issue with getting no sound through your iPhone's speaker, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

  • IPad 1st Generation not finding networks or connecting to bluetooth.

          So, I haven't used my iPad all day and I came home to connect to my wireless speaker via bluetooth and it said it couldn't pair; I thought this was strange because I never have issues with connecting to bluetooth, even if I do it can always be fixed by toggling the speaker's power switch as well as the bluetooth switch. I then checked the upper left hand corner to see if my wireless was working, that too was inactive. I went to my settings to select my usual network only to have my iPad search and come up with absolutely no nearby networks, I went to my Mac and the internet was working just fine. So my iPad will not work with my network or work with my bluetooth. I have already taken many troubleshooting steps. 1. I reset my network settings, 2. I adjust the brightness, 3. I rebooted the iPad, 4. I finally restored the iPad. After all this, my iPad still will not connect. Yet every other wireless capable device in the house is working just fine. After I restored the iPad I made sure not to restore from a backup so it's completely fresh. Has anyone experienced any of this, and will I need to call Support, as this may be a hardware issue, Even though I JUST had this iPad replaced not too long ago.

    Yes, that was one of the common sense steps that I left out.... mainly because, well, it's common sense. I don't mean to come off as rude or anything, but the router effecting only my iPad when there are two iPad's in the house that run the same firmware as well as other devices that are working fine seems like an unlikely answer to my problem. However, I do appreciate the input. Any is appreciated, helpful or not.

  • My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to Fitbit Flex or wireless headset

    My iPhone 5 will no longer connect via bluetooth to my Fitbit Flex aftering updating to ios 7.  Apple phone support had me completely erase and set my phone up again as new to restart bluetooth pairing, then restore again through iCloud.  Worked last night but same problem today.  It also will no longer connect to my wireless headset in my car.  Of course I'm now 5 days over my 1 year warranty as well.  Any ideas?

    Delete the pairing from both devices then pair them again.

  • My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air, nor my BMW X3.  Is this fixable?

    My iPhone 3GS no longer connects through Bluetooth to my MacBook Air nor my BMW X3.   I've made no recent adjustments, it's just stopped functioning.   Any ideas?   Can this be fixed, or is my iPhone on the way out?

    Problem solved!! I finally managed to pair the SE HCB-100 car kit speakerphone with the 3GS. I surfed the SE web site and it mentioned resetting the speakerphone. Tried it on 'one color ID' but it didn't work so I did it on all 'color IDs' and left it on reset mode when it 'accidentally' was picked up by my 3GS while searching!!! Found 'headset' and then recognised it as HCB-100. One happy guy for the holidays!!!

    When you connect the device open iTunes and select it from the sidebar. Click on the Summary tab in the main window. Uncheck the option to automatically connect to iTunes. You will find it in the collection of options near the lower part of the window.

    How did you install Windows? Did you use Bootcamp Assistant or did you use a virtual machine like Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox.
    If you used Bootcamp Assistant, did you download and install the Windows Support software (drivers) in accordance with the Bootcamp instructions?

  • I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

    I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth JBL speakers to my Macbook Pro but it isn't working. I can't seem to find Bluetooth Setup Assistant because I updated my laptop. What should I do?

    Make sure you set the speakers as discoverable, which usually involves holding down a button for a few seconds. Go to System Preferences / Bluetooth and you should be able to add it.
