How did the bluetooth card hookup to the zaurus? I gave up on trying the zRoadmaps program... I got all the way to downloading the map into the program, and the program even recognizes the map. But the map does not load.. And i\'ve tried zoom, etc.
The BT GPS receiver is just a little orb with a charging port and a couple of status lights. It connects to a BT card via Serial Port profile on the Z. Basically, I had to edit /etc/bluetooth/givepin to supply the right PIN, then did
sdptool search SP, which will find the BT device address and channel of the GPS receiver. (This also pairs the two devices, and I could then reset givepin to what I wanted.) Then I edited /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf to add /dev/rfcomm1, and started gpsd with the -p /dev/rfcomm1 option. To gpsd, /dev/rfcomm1 is just a serial port via which it can get the NMEA 0183 data.
You will, in a sense, have to \"give up\" your CF slot (for a BT card), but since BT can handle multiple connections, you can simultaneously have a wireless serial connection to your GPS device on rfcomm1 and a wireless PPP session via cell phone on rfcomm0, or a wireless PAN connection to another BT-enabled machine--or all three, if you\'re feeling ambitious!
As for zRoadmap, I\'d say don\'t give up--I had fits getting it to display anything until I entered
100 main gainesville, fl (and be sure to hit the on-screen \"OK\" button in the \"Enter Address\" popup, NOT return, NOT the plastic OK button...don\'t ask me why, I don\'t know.)
