Bluetooth GPS, 9.04, and Roadnav

[sgosnell]

I've been futzing with this for most of the day, and have been searching here and with Google, with no positive results.

I've installed Roadnav for GPS mapping, and have a bluetooth GPS. I can connect to the GPS, I think, and start gpsd, I think, but Roadnav refused to recognize the GPS, insisting that there is none. Has anyone been able to get this to work? None of the threads on here have given me any positive help. I'm running 9.04, on an Asus EEE PC 900, with a Targus bluetooth dongle. The dongle works with everything else I've tried, including several phones and PDAs of various OS and makes. I get every indication that the GPS is connected, but I just can't get Roadnav to recognize it.

you probably don't have it working with gpsd, that would be my guess

Maybe not. Gpsd is installed and running, but perhaps not working correctly. I've pretty much abandoned the attempt, it's not a priority right now.
