Me, too. I have the same problem with
my Q9m, different GPS unit. I have an OnCourse Bluetooth GPS Receiver Edition 3. I am using Live Search (and have tested other GPS aware apps as well.) I know the GPS unit is functional, because it pairs and works well with another PDA running TomTom Navigator.
On the Q9M, first I paired the GPS unit:
0) turn on the GPS unit. Within the first 60 seconds,
1) Start / Bluetooth / Bluetooth Manager / Settings
2) Bluetooth On.
3) Check "Allow other Bluetooth devices to see this phone."
4) Menu / Paired Devices / Menu / Add / Menu / Show All Devices
5) Select "BT GPS V20" when it appears.
It now shows up under Paired Devices, with the green question mark on top.
The "B" displayed on the GPS unit (bluetooth) is now supposed to switch from solid blue (ready to pair) to flashing blue (paired), according to the manual. It doesn't.
I have the option to select it and check "Connections Authorized." It doesn't seem to matter if this is checked or not, it doesn't work in either case. Likewise I can give it a nickname (why on earth?) and I have tried various forms, simple names, get rid of spaces in the name, etc, but nothing makes a difference.
Now I run the navigation app, in this case Live Search. I have tried it setting it variously to Auto, Com1, all the other com ports, and GPS intermediate driver. Nothing seems to do it.
I read somewhere that sometimes it works after a hard reset. I have now done a hard reset, paired the GPS as the very first thing, then installed Live Search and tried it. Twice. Still doesn't work.
I have tried using GPSCOM.EXE and setting it to Com 1, doesn't help either.
If you've got a Q9m and know how to make this work, I would be most grateful!!
