Bluetooth GPS setup on netbook / laptop
I am a noob with GPS and Bluetooth and did no see much info here directing the setup of Bluetooth and GPS. If it was mentioned then I am sorry for this thread.
I hope everyone can post setup procedures for Bluetooth here so people would not have to search and search for needed info.
My situation: New Asus netbook with Bluetooth that was never used.
A right click on the Bluetooth icon would not bring up the needed options to sync the GPS device.
- Went to the Asus web page and downloaded the Bluetooth upgrade files.
- Installed the new update and rebooted netbook.
- Now I could configure the Bluetooth as when you right click you should have the option "Bluetooth configuration".
- Ran the Bluetooth config and entered name of the netbook and type.
- The Bluetooth virtual comport was installed which is needed for the software program to see the GPS.
- Now you should have "My Bluetooth Places icon.
- Open your map software such as Microsoft Streets & Trips and config the powered on GPS.
I know I have missed some steps here so I hope the grand pooba admin can fill in some of the blanks for you.
