I purchased my Motorola Q last November. I recently started playing with
applications. I purchased an external bluetooth GPS and installed my Pocket
Streets and Trips 2006 software on the cell phone. When I try to start the
GPS in the Pocket Streets and Trips 2006 software, I receive the message
"This phone does not contain the Microsoft Bluetooth manager, which is
required to connect a Bluetooth GPS device".

Obviously, the Bluetooth Manager is there...that's how I paired the phone up
with the Bluetooth GPS in the first place...as well as with my Bluetooth
earpiece.

I installed several other GPS software demos, including Mapopolis, Virtual
Earth Mobile and Efficasoft GPS Utilities for Smartphone v1.2. All of these
find the Bluetooth GPS without issue, though I do have to tell the last one
to specifically use Com1 at 9600 bps.

I did try updating the Q through Motorola
(http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto...0Data%20Cable).
This made no difference. Any idea as to why Streets and Trips 2006
shouldn't work with my Bluetooth GPS on the Q?

Here are the receiver's specs:

* Model: BT-Q795

* SiRF Star III powered

* 20-Channel tracking

* 10 meter wireless transmitting range

* High sensitivity - 159dBm



Thank you in advanced,

Stick with the one of those you liked best. All you get from Pocket Streets
is a dot that tells you where you are when coupled with any GPS. Not sure
what the message is telling you but I can tell you that Pocket Streets has
always expected the NMEA data to come in at 4800, not 9600. No way to change
it either. Don't know if you can change it on your GPS. That may be the
underlying issue, and the error message just an indication of the typical
usefulness of MS error messages.
