I'm on openmode PR1.3 with nitdroid installed. It's running but my pc or my other handsets can't detect it as external gps. Please teach me how you did it... Thanks in advance...

Yeah, ExtGPS works for me just fine over bluetooth.

In Device and Printers is everything OK ? Maybe it is some troubleshooting to resolve (exclamation mark with yellow triangle on N9 device) ?
When i try to conect first time (as regular user), some drivers are missing, but when repeate as admin, Windows install this drivers.

ExtGPS couldn't detect the satellites on N9 while the Symbian version on my old 5230 gets a fix at the same time.

After Bluetooth pairing between N9 and 5230, did N9 Settings -> Device: use external GPS - found 5230 OK.
- ExtGPS on N9 still fails (Bluetooth connection established OK, 5230 has got a GPS fix)
- gpsmeefo, N9 car navigator, none of them works, either with internal or external GPS.

Only thing I get is a crappy GSM estimation on Nokia Maps, either from supl.nokia.com or supl.google.com, which I have set alternatively in /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf :confused:
- gpsmeefo shows a few satellites with internal GPS activated again, but does not get a GPS fix.

Anybody out there with the same problem, can this be a hardware problem since a few satellites are seen by gpsmeefo?

And/or is there anybody having successfully used an external GPS device over Bluetooth, what ever model? (using 5230 would not bother me if I have got a hardware problem). Thanks !

I think you have an GPS hardware issue.
