Connect bluetooth GPS to ipod touch

Question

Connect bluetooth GPS to ipod touch

I purchased the upgrade software for my ipod because I wanted to be able to connect my bluetooth GPS but I cannot seem to do this. I read that the bluetooth is only for connecting headphones. Does anyone know if it is possible?

macbook pro, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

No it's not possible, I'm sorry to inform you. You can't connect your gps system with your iPod touch or vice versa. The iPod touch Bluetooth is for wireless headphones and peer to peer connectivity only. It can't be used for nothing else other than those functionalities. It's apple fault for putting restrictions on the software.
