Google Maps & GlobalSat BT359W Problem

[clchappe]

Good Morning All,

Let me start by saying that even though this is my first post I have been reading the forums as a guest for several months. Until now I never had anything new or noteworthy to say so I remained silent. Also let me say that if I've missed a thread that has already addressed my issues I apologize. I searched several times and didn't see anything but may have missed something. Thanks in advance for your time!

I have a GlobalSat BT359W GPS receiver connected to my [Black] Q and when using Google Maps Mobile it shows my stationary location after selecting "Track Location." However, when driving, the marker doesn't move nor does the map pan in the direction I am traveling. I thought this was a capability of the software after reading the FAQs provided by Google but am I missing something?

I paired the receiver with the Q by selecting Menu -> Paired Devices -> Add and then enabled both "Connections Authorized" in the Device Properties and "Allow other Bluetooth devices to see this phone" under Bluetooth Settings. I believe everything is set up properly because it passes location information back to the program but the icon representing the receiver does show a question mark (?).

I apologize about the lengthy post but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

You may have hit the d-pad after you tracked location. Hit the "0" number key and see if your location indicator flashes blue and white. if so the map should begin to pan when you move.
