I use navigation-app CoPilot Live from ALK with a ext. GPS-receiver GT-750 BLUETOOTH GPS-LOGGER from Conrad-Electronic. The receiver are not trough iPod touch (3. generation) recogniced. Bluetooth on iPod is enabled. What can i make?
iPod touch, iOS 3.1.3
Did you look in the app store for an app that can use the BT GPS? The manual in the lin you provided says:
Load your GPS mapping or routing software, along with the corresponding maps of the areas that you are occupying or plan
to travel. Start the application. Make sure the application is set for theCOM port that your Bluetooth-enabled mobile device
will use for serial communication. Now you should be ready to useyour GPS application as directed by the user
documentation that came with the software.
I could not find an app and Googling did not find anything either.
Baer_52 / Illaass,
Usually GPS receivers provide output in a standard format called 'NMEA 083'. Most applications nowadays use this protocol to receive a wealth of information concerning the satellite constellation, time, velocity, position etc. Baer_52 may verify if his receiver outputs this NMEA to see which apps are able to support.
Also, there's a free app that I've come across yesterday, called 'GPS data'. This does not navigate or anything but allows you to see the output data from the GPS (probably if in NMEA format). It may help....

The trouble dot not come from app. The trouble comes from the fact the iPad (iPhone) do no recognize the GPS Bluetooth, certainly due to the restricted (%#*+!!) Bluetooth of the iPad.
I have the same brand new item, ready for garbage.
And I know the Garmin Bluetooth GPS Glo work fine....
Any explanation to that??
But why, WHY, not all iPad have the GPS chip....
How i connect GPS-Receiver over Bluetooth
