I wanted to find out if it's possible to use the Tilt as a Bluetooth GPS adapter. I recently got an iPhone from a friend and am just trying it out but no GPS sucks. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
I think this might be what you are looking for

That app looks exactly like what I'm looking for. Will try once I'm back at my computer. Thanks

I heard from the at&t rep that the tilt could possibly be used as a car alarm or car remote. I was wondering if anyone of you guys knnew how to do this.
I was also wondering if you guys knew if it was possible to get the messenger programs on it to work on WiFi. I greatly appreciate all comments and adivce! Thanks a lot!!!!
Hi Guys
I know it's a strange request, but I was wondering if it was possible to have the Kaiser to act as a Bluetooth GPS unit, so I can use it with my MacBook Pro?
Thanks
Thomas
GPSGate is exactly what you're looking for.
Or GPS2Blue
Thanks guys...I knew it'd be out there....I just couldn't find it!
I can't get gps2blue to work with my kaiser. I keep getting IO exception. Bluetooth off? / Waiting for bluetooth to be enabled
However bluetooth is on and working just fine.
If you get something working let me know which ROM and how you did it.
So I have a shiny new Kenwood KDC-BT838U and for a $220 dollar toy it is pissing me off very much. It does not automatically connect or disconnect from my phone when powering on or off. Simple fix for that is an app to manually establish connection. a2dp will be running fine, then a call comes in. After the call sound will not work and I get all kinds of connection issues until I just power down the head unit then turn it back on (sometimes a few times).
I tested my kaiser with other bluetooth HU's and it worked fine. Then kenwood was not in the store but I love all its other features and it looks great. I contacted Kenwood support and they said that it is a problem with my phone's bluetooth protocol. I decided to give Kenwood the benefit of the doubt. I want to try the widcomm stack.
Found it here.

I have read that it works with the kaiser. True? After installing the cab, do I need to delete the MS bluetooth reg key or do anything special?
Any Kaiser widcomm users out there? Can you comment on any issues you have? Thanks!
I went ahead and installed the cab linked above. At first I was getting the out of memory error on boot. I changed the baud rate ([HKLM\Software\Widcomm\BTConfig\SerialTransport]) to 115200 and it appears to be working now. Will report more findings later. If anyone else is using it please share your experiences here. Pretty much all the threads I found by searching were people with the same question and they pretty much all went unanswered.
Wellit only thinks it is working. Kasier would not find any bluetooth devices near by and my computer cannot find my kaiser. I guess I will give up now but if anyone else got it working please let me know.
Oh BTW, don't install the CAB unless you don't mind a hard reset. I was prepared for that of course, but just a heads up.
Hi.
I had a thoughts here... It's possible to use the N1 as bluetooth GPS.

Should be do-able i think, we can access both (BT&GPS) but i think pretty useless
Use mytracks, record ur tracks then stop when ur finished and save the file n send it to ur self. There u go
Hi guys! Thanks for the feedback.
The reason i'm asking this is I have an iPad (yes it's a Apple gadget )
the Ipad doesn't have build in GPS. But I can use iPhone apps on the iPad.
So if i mount a bluetooth GPS device i can use TomTom on the iPad.
I have manage to pair a external bluetooth GPS to the iPad and TomTom works fine.
But it's easier for me to use N1 as an GPS modul.
Maybe this made more sense

Not to flame, just curious! How is it more convenient to use the ipad as a gps unit? Why not just use google nav? I could see it being super useful if you have say a nice sturdy car mount for your ipad but thats about all i can think of.
Oh, just noticed youre not in the US :\ is google nav not enabled in your country?
Hi Mike.
The reason i want to use tomtom is i like tomtom
The second reason is it support offline maps, local POI etc. etc. etc.
My plan is not to use the iPad as a main GPS unit in my car
But I like to explore new stuff.. so it would be nice if that was possible to do.

Ahh i see that screen would make an awesome nav unit hehe. You would probably need a developer to make an application to use it as a bluetooth gps. Since it will probably need root to run it might be harder to find a developer since these things are harder to sell :\
My Nook Color just won't stop to impress me. I knew it can be used as a GPS unit, but I haven't taken the time to try it out, but I finally did it:
I am now seriously thinking of creating a car mount for it using Shapeways ...
Let people know if you get something generic done for a car mount for the Nook I am sure there would be some takers on here if the price is not too bad
It would look cooler in satellite view...
Also, for my fellow newbies, this requires a connection to a GPS unit or GPS-equipped cell phone, because the Nook does NOT have a GPS chip.
Nook Car Mount
There's a nice car mount over on ebay. Just search for "car mount holder docking station for noble nook color". I would post a photo and link, but am a new forum member and not allowed to do so until I have 8 posts.
impressive, I should have my NC by the end of the week, can't wait!
This is great... but it uses the GPS signal from a rooted Android phone, and over wi-fi, correct?
Has the community figured out a way to pair a rooted Nook with one of the many Bluetooth GPS receivers (those hockey puck devices)?
Heck yeah, always so annoyed to have my phone tied up by the GPS when im driving, hellooooooooo solution. Even better: no battery drain on bluetooth!
how do i pair this with my iPhone?
Bluetooth or wifi?

I read from another forum that someone already got Bluetooth GPS to work using this app:
http://market.android.com/details?id=googoo.android.btgps
However, he complaint that the BT receiver has to be right next to the Nook Color for it to work, so it may not be the best setup.

Sorry, the short answer is I don't know.
Technically, it's possible because all it needs is a server on your iPhone, and a client on your Nook Color. But I couldn't find one that work across platform. If you know how to programme, it shouldn't be too difficult to write one.
As for Bluetooth support, it's possible -- I did not try it myself personally, but as I said in an earlier post, I've heard a success story from another forum.
Software
What mapping software is running on the nook? Is it doing the vocals? I bought a Haicom HI-408BT to use bluetooth gps. I need to see about a good mapping software to go with it.
