GPS Bluetooth Help!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hello all.

I've bought a bluetooth GPS receiver from ebay, and guess what??

I cant get it to work! It is a Qstarz bt-q800 and can be seen here:

I have been on the modaco forum searching for GPS help and have found a few bits and pieces.

I have bonded with the device set up com 7 as outbound etc, it connects but does not find satelites.

A small exe called BTGPS shows all co-ords as 00000, the orange light on the receiver stays on (should flash when satelites are locked)...

Pocket streets reports that it is connecting and detects 0 satelites.

SmartGPS does the same thing.

Any help and advice much appreciated.

Could this be a problem with the phones (SPV E200 and SPV c600) or more likely the 2 exact same receivers?

Two things come to mind

1) Are you outside while trying to do this? (it's hard for those GPS recivers to get a signal inside the house

2) You might have a defective unit
