I'm glad you got it working, that means we have another device that we know is compatible.

is there any application that can use the gps in windows? i mean, i installed columbus, started it and now its "Streaming to port /dev/ttyGS0". But how do i install that on my windows computer now.. Actually i dont know a lot about that topic, but for me, it would be useful to use it for my laptop.
regards

Once you close Columbus it'll re-enable pnatd so you can use your N900 for tethering again.

Oh and as far as Windows software, there are plenty of packages but I don't know them off hand. Google Earth I believe works with GPS data.

i never used hyperterminal, could you explain how to do that? (installed it anyway)
but shouldnt there be anything telling me that "installing new device" or something? there was no change, also nothing new in the device manager :S tried different gps software and none could recognize a gps stream

I've only tried it with my laptop and N810, I would if Columbus is saying it's using channel 2, then I guess setting COM port to 2 should do the trick. Other than that, find out from the other software distributor what you should do to get it to connected to a Bluetooth serial port that is using channel 2 and streaming NMEA data.
