Trying to connect my Bluetooth GPS receiver to iGuidance

Just bought the iGuidance Bluetooth package, containing the GlobalSat BT359 Ver 2.0.

I got my Com port detected ok, but when my laptop, running Windows Vista 64 bit, was connecting, the connection was asking for a passkey. Well there was no passkey when installing the BT device, so I did not enter a passkey, and the connection got refused.

What's the magic decoder ring, secret handshake that I am missing?

Passkey for most Bluetooth GPS receivers nowadays is: 0000 (four zeros). Give it a try, let us know if it works/doesn't work.

Thanks! That was it!

I have been out and about with iGuadance for the first time.

I thought I could enter a bunch of of itinary points and have the software put them in order by shortest time or shortest distance. I can't seem to find that feature. Am I wrong?

iGuidance 4 doesn't have a feature that would sort stops in your itinerary to make the trip fastest or shortest. But I think such functionality is likely on several people's wish list.

Some iGuidance users use the inexpensive Microsoft Streets and Trips for trip planning, and then they enter their way-points into iGuidance. It's not the best solution, but it works.

Does the latest DeLorme SA have this feature? I may be confusing what I thought was a DeLorme SA feature, with one of the on-line map sites.
