Anybody using a bluetooth GPS unit to support navigation on a PDA ...

If yes, appreciate if you can mention what hardware and software you
are using ....


Do you gave any reliability issues ... any issues with RF
interference, etc ....


thanks,

I use this rechargeable puck-style bluetooth gps:http://www.buygpsnow.com/GlobalTop-G...ltra-Low-Power...


It connects to the internal bluetooth in my Dell Axim X51v which runs
Windows Mobile 5. I run the latest XCsoar release and and an in-car
navigation system with this setup. No issues whatsoever over
approximately 50 hours use in both.

What Serial Port setting do you need *for the G33 ... *I can't get it
to talk to eval copies of CU Mobile or FlyWithCE on a x50v ... but the
Axim is new and perhaps I don't have it set up correctly ... :-/


never mind ... did a reset and port 7 worked fine ... the G33 is a
nice unit ... pulls in a signal in the house ... thx ... KK
