GPS hw / BT GPS

[Guest jugglerb]

Hi - is it confirmed that the Vega contains no GPS hardware?

Has anyone tried connecting a Bluetooth GPS and using Google Navigation?

Not sure GPS is important for this type of device but would be nice to know.

hi

This is what I have been trying to do, but I cannot get bluetooth to see anything at all at the moment. Once that is fixed, there do seem to be a number of utilities on the market place which would seem to allow an external GPS to be used.

Looks like it works, with an update.

Hi Paul

I did download a couple of bluetooth gps apps. Now i am a little unsure what they do. I downloaded bluetooth gps provider and another called bluetooth gps - which has a nice satellite usee interface. I will try to uninstall them to see what really gets used.

Will let you know later

Neither of the above installed = no BT GPS ,, bluetooth section can see it but nothing seems to be able to use it .

Bluetooth GPS installed ---- will give you location in google but NOT in navigon software (well it doesn't on mine)

Bluetooth GPS Provider installed --- gives location in google maps AND Navigon so seems to be the better of the two (again for me anyway)

Hope this helps cos the vega makes a mean 10.1 inch satnav LOL

so i now have bluetooth gps provider installed and my trusty old BT GPS works like a charm thanks to all involved

It still doesn't work using my BI-406BT GPS unit - I can get them paired but no matter which GPS app I use I can't get them connected. I've tried changing some of the settings in the apps but nothing seems to work - shame, I'd rather like a huge satnav unit!

Hi all,

Slightly OT but assuming we can get the hw working, what is the best sw? I use TomTom very happily atm but I assume its not available for non fruit based phones/tabs?
