2. Connecting To The GPS Device
In order for Bluetooth device to communicate, a correct
COM port number must be assigned.
Most current GPS mapping software will assign a Com port
number automatically. If it fails to assign one, try to use
the "Auto Detect Com Port" feature.
 
2a. PDA Setup 
GPS-CF/GPS-CF3: Insert the card into the PDA’s CF slot. 
Follow the instructions in your mapping software to setup 
the correct COM port. 
 
Bluetooth GPS: Turn on your PDA’s Bluetooth function 
and the BT-GPS device to discovery mode. Then discover 
and pair the BT-GPS. Please refer to your PDA’s user 
manual for more information on how to successfully 
discover and pair a Bluetooth device or refer to Page 8 or 
10. 
This section is divided into 2 main Scenarios, PDA with 
Widcomm Bluetooth software and PDA with Microsoft 
Bluetooth software. 
 
Note: Widcomm Bluetooth software is common on most 
Bluetooth enabled Pocket PC running on Windows CE 4.x 
or earlier operating system. For Pocket PC running on 
Windows Mobile 5.x operating system, it has been 
replaced by Microsoft Bluetooth software.
