Please log in for more thread options Hi benro2,
I am still using TT3 but I cannot be a major difference.
Go to the GPS button in TT. Apart from the first view, showing your position
and satelites, the is a tab GPS. On top you must enter the GPS device you are
using.
If it is not listed, choose NMEA 0183v2 Bluetooth.
Don't forget to check the bos in the upper left corner.
This should work... I hope.
Good luck.
Paul
