I just bought the Belking Bluetooth GPS receiver, and it doesn't seem to work with it, unless someone has some hints as to what it takes (or got it working with yours.)
Any ideas?

A review of the specifications of the Belkin Bluetooth GPS receiver shows that it should work well with MacGPS Pro. Perhaps the problem was that the passkey number was not entered correctly. Belkin's website says that the passkey is 0000. I have also contacted Belkin to confirm that there are no other issues that could cause incompatibility. I'll repost here as soon as I get a response from Belkin.Wednesday, June 09 2004 @ 06:13 PM PDT

I have also tried contacting Belkin with no reply from them. James Asssociates stocks the Rayming TripNav TN-206 Bluetooth GPS receiver. MacGPS Pro users now have easy access to ordering a Bluetooth receiver which has been tested and is known to work well with our software.Thursday, August 19 2004 @ 10:52 AM PDT

Yes, we have tested the "ROUTE 66 Route 2004" application with Belkin Bluetooth GPS receivers.In order to connect a Bluetooth GPS receiver to the "ROUTE 66 Route 2004"
application, you have to set up the Bluetooth GPS device and then create a
serial port for it. This serial port will be used to connect the GPS
receiver to the "ROUTE 66 Route 2004" application.

Bluetooth module connected to your computer.
