Hi. First of all, I apologize about my english skills.
And second, very important too, thanks for read.

Well, I start to explain.

I have an HTC diamond mobile with GPS. It's works nice, but i prefer use the big screen from my N800 (Maemo 5.2008.43-7)

I have sync both bluetooth devices and works fine (sending photos, for example)

First, I download an aplication to send the gps data from my Diamond trough bluetooth like an external GPS.
This aplication works in win 6.1, it's GPS2blue.

(here more info. I'm trying the third feature)

3. Use your PDA as external GPS

* Redirect GPS data to your laptop/desktop PC:
o via bluetooth (for bluetooth PDA).

o via TCP/IP (TCP/IP over USB, GPRS or WiFi). You can create, on your PC, virtual COM ports from TCP/IP with HW VSP.
* Enjoy your GPS on a big screen.
* Works in NMEA, Raw and SiRF mode.
* Compatibility with GPS intermediate driver (i.e.: redirect while another GPS application is running or works standalone).
* Display GPS status if GID used.
* Bidirectional (you can for example configure your SiRF based GPS PDA with SiRFDemo directly from your laptop/desktop PC).
* Option to turn off PDA's powersaving.


Well, I can choose the com port in my diamond, and other options, but I can't choose the com port in N800, so maemo mapper don't recognize any gps antenna, and don't work.

I'm very convinced that is the problem.


The question...How I can change the bluetooth port com in my N800? Almost, if I can change it, and still not work, maybe could try another options.

Or maybe, an bluetooth scanner, I don't know.

Again, sorry about my english skills and thanks for all.

The "com port" normally refers to a serial port in Windows. You should be setting that in the GPS2blue program, not on the N800. The N800 just chooses the bluetooth device.
You cannot choose bluetooth channel, so it is assuming there is just one GPS service per device.
