GPS not working with usb bluetooth adapter

Post by thr3shold »

I'm using a targus bluetooth adapter model acb10us1 to connect my latop to the Qstar external GPS unit. The software connect to it fine with incoming data on com5 and outgoing on com6 and the gps registers the connection, but tunerstudio doesn't seem to do anything with the data. The speed gauge I threw up there never moves from 0. I've checked all of the settings I can think of/find and nothing has worked thus far. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

The only settings to worry about should be under:
Communications --> GPS Configuration

Check Enable and set it to the Outgoing Com Port.

You may need to restart TunerStudio after that.

Also, there were several fixes for high speed GPS's like the QStarz put in the current beta.
You might want to give that a try.

I had it set to the incoming com port. Switched it and I'm in the business, thanks!
