I am sure 20 people will update and say "Duh, you didn't know that?" But I didn't and I am guessing others won't know it either:

Works like a charm, is free and let's all kind of map and radio and other apps to use 'near me' and location features!

Bluetooth GPS on G Tab - Skymap and Nav working!



I had an old Pharos BT-GPS device that I bought several years ago to work with my Nokia 770 tablet, and last night was able to connect it the G Tab and get Google Maps, Navigation, etc. to work. As there are many Bluetooth GPS receivers available (I did a quick eBay search) for under $20, I thought I would post what I did here.

EDIT: Took this a step further, and now have been able to connect the GPS in my phone (Droid Incredible) to my G TAB.

In order to share the GPS from your phone to your tablet, you need to have a rooted phone ShareGPS installed.

1. Download ShareGPS Beta from the market and install on your PHONE <- This goes on the device that has GPS (MUST be rooted)
2. Pair your phone with your tablet
3. Activate ShareGPS on your phone.

This makes your phone a shareable GPS device.


I have tested this so far on the VEGAn-TAB-1.0.0B5 ROM.

1. Download and install Bluetooth GPS from the Market
2. Pair your BT GPS device to the tablet
3. Open Bluetooth GPS
4. Choose your BT GPS
5. Start GPS service
6. Open Google Maps or other navigation or mapping application.

I have tested with Google Maps, Google Navigation and Google Skymap and all three worked a treat!

I have also tested this with GPS Status to see data and that worked great too.
