I had the same problem with my Q9h and my Fortuna Slim BT GPS, the phone could see that there was a bluetooth GPS available but the software was ignoring it. Being also dumb and stuborn, I spent 3 days reading and trying everything that Google came up with, but now I finally enjoy the Garmin Mobile XT and Google Maps Mobile on my phone. To my understanding, these are the things that you have to do to make it work:
- Set the USB parameter in Settings/Connections to Activesync RNDIS. If you set it to Activesync Serial, you lose COM1 and maybe that's the reason some people (not all) are facing problems with BT GPS ... Remember that you will NOT be able to Activesync until you set it back to Serial.
- Pair the BT GPS device as described elsewhere in the forum
- Download, install and run the GPSCOM program, set it up for COM1 and save it
- Reboot every time you change something...
I still have the green "?" sign, but now I know that it's the BT icon surrounded by a
sat orbit and not a questionmark
Thanks to everyone here for the bits of information that enabled me to find the solution!!!
