I have an Axim x51v(WM5), OnCourse BT gps, and iGuidance which I just got this past week. I was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to set up initially. And it has worked, rock-solid for me all week since I got it. This morning, I changed the battery in my Axim. The next time I tried to use it, I never got a connection.
The GPS is powered on and only inches away.
- I was driving in an area where I've never had trouble getting a signal.
- Looking at the GPS info screen, I see no satellites, nothing.
- So I disabled and re-enabled bluetooth on the axim, still nothing.
- I deleted the association on the axim, and rediscovered the bluetooth gps fine, reset all the connection info (com8, 38600), still nothing.

I am now at a loss. I've redone everything I did to set it up the first time, and it still isn't working. Any ideas? Is there at least a way to tell if I'm failing with the bluetooth connection or if the gps is failing to get a signal?

I appreciate any help you can offer on this, I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow that was the whole purpose for buying it.
