I purchased my Motorola Q last November. I recently started playing with
applications. I purchased an external bluetooth GPS and installed my Pocket
Streets and Trips 2006 software on the cell phone. When I try to start the
GPS in the Pocket Streets and Trips 2006 software, I receive the message
"This phone does not contain the Microsoft Bluetooth manager, which is
required to connect a Bluetooth GPS device".
Obviously, the Bluetooth Manager is there...that's how I paired the phone up
with the Bluetooth GPS in the first place...as well as with my Bluetooth
earpiece.
I installed several other GPS software demos, including Mapopolis, Virtual
Earth Mobile and Efficasoft GPS Utilities for Smartphone v1.2. All of these
find the Bluetooth GPS without issue, though I do have to tell the last one
to specifically use Com1 at 9600 bps.
I did try updating the Q through Motorola
(http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/Motosupport/source/SoftwareUpdateSummary.asp?country=&language=&web_page_name=SUPPORT&strCarrierId=Verizon%20Wireless&strPhone=Q&strCable=Mini%20USB%20Data%20Cable).
This made no difference. Any idea as to why Streets and Trips 2006
shouldn't work with my Bluetooth GPS on the Q?
Here are the receiver's specs:
* Model: BT-Q795
* SiRF Star III powered
* 20-Channel tracking
* 10 meter wireless transmitting range
* High sensitivity - 159dBm
Thank you in advanced,
