Oziexplorer and Bluetooth GPS

Firstly you need to configure OziExplorer to recognise the GPS input as NMEA only.

Secondly, make sure CoPilot is not activated first.
A GPS input to a Laptop can only have a single output in a normal configuration.
If you wish the GPS to be shared with two or more applications concurrently, such as OziExplorer and CoPilot, you will need to purchase and install GpsGate from Franson.
This little application creates a virtual output port that can be shared with multiple applications.

Check the baud rates - I am unsure hwat ya need but go to the Ozi site I believe they have info on it.

There are also some Ozi forums or used to be which may be able to help you

What COM port have you set? Co-pilot will probably automatically hunt for the right COM port, but Ozi wont. Ozi's default is COM1 but bluetooth will not operate on COM 1.

Are you using Copilot for PocketPC or the laptop version? This will make a difference to which way you approach the BT connection issue.

Subject to the BT device being paired to the laptop, OziExplorer will need the following:

NMEA baud rate: 38400
com port: (BT specific allocation)
Parity: None
Stop bits: 8

i am using garmin Bluetooth so the settings might be a bit different . go the COM tab of the configuration seetings and try;

com port:4
up/dowm baud:9600
nmea bands:4800
serial port driver:driver2

initially the setting up hassle wasn't with oze but the bluetooth software, took a lot of trial and error before i got it right..

There is a program on the OziE web site utilities page that will search for the GPS and tell you the port and baud rate to use.

Thanks all,
I used the utility to find the GPS.

Thanks
