The strangest thing happens every time I try to use the mapping software to look at the COM ports!!! It scans, and the bluetooth connection gets dropped, and the software reports that no GPS bluetooth was found! I've tried this many, many times and did this using different ways to pair the BT GPS and the Axim... before, during and after. No difference. The COM port is set to COM 9 (Inbound port). The BAUD rate is set to 4800.
Also, why does the BT connection get dropped every couple of minutes? Is it that since there is no data flowing, it shuts off automatically or something? And why does the BT connection get dropped when the mapping software is scanning the COM ports?
Any help would be welcome. The question I'm pondering is about where the problem lies... in the BT GPS or in my Axim?
