Unable to connect x50v to GPS IOGear gbgps201
Although I enable bluetooth and it appears to form a partnership with the GPS device
on COM7 communication between the devices does not happen. The services for
the GPS device has "serial port" checked. Everything appears to go according
to the manuals instructions for enabling and creating partnership to the GPS
accept the communication between devices is not there.
Any help appreciated ...Thx

How do you know that communications is not taking place? What software/utilities are you using to see if the data is flowing or not? What symptoms are there (indicator lights, messages, etc)?

It has been bothering me since I bought the IOGear Bluetooth GPS GBGPS201, It was not communication with my DELL x50v.

I contacted IOGear Customer Service and they already know about this. They have a newer version of it and asked me to send back the previous one. You should be given a RMA before you send it. Gook Luck.

It received it finally and get it working now.
