... please help me come up with a working setup?
I picked up a Delorme BT-20 today and had ... mixed results. I'm not by any means a computer neophyte, but this kicked my ass. Various permutations of USB and Bluetooth connections and some word work for a while, then for whatever reason after a reboot, whatever, not work anymore.
I have two laptops available to me, I would prefer to use the Netbook (An HP 311 with Win7 32 bit). I was able to get it working ONCE with bluetooth, GPS Gate, GRLevel3 and mapping software ... then not so much. After I went into the store it had suspended. Thinking it was a power management thing I rebooted ... removed/reinstalled bluetooth device, re-detected (and this time it's not there in GPS Gate) ... no luck.
I tried it on the Presario laptop with XP, the same sort of mixed results (although different each time). I would have posted on the GPS Gate website but I didn't see too many answers there.
I don't even mind bringing this GPS receiver back if there's a better one ... maybe better software? Please, someone has to be using a reliable setup on Win 7?
