you might need to install software like "bluetooth gps provider" or "Bluetooth GPS" on archos and something like "Bluetooth GPS Output" on your gps receiver (at market) or "GpsGate" for windows mobile (phone only).
I shared my Nexus Ones gps via bluetooth to my A43, it was very simple and worked with any program I used.
I did a search and had found some usb bluetooth receivers around $50-60, probably don't need anything special to get the job done.

I use an iBlutooth gps receiver and it works with google and Oruxmaps, no problem.
Check out Orux maps for use with aviation. He has PC software to import geo-referenced charts. It works great with charts from FAA Aeronav. It's one of the main things I bought my tablet for. I was using my phone in the cockpit.

I used NDrive and Google Maps on my A43, I use Sygic Aura on my Nexus One (actually bought this one, it is really nice and in the general Android Apps & Games forum I started a thread of discount codes). Ndrive is a little more friendly to the resistive screen as its controls are larger and easier to hit.
Hi!
I use a Jentro BT-gps-8, works without any aditional software with Copilot, but have some Problems with the graphics if I turn the Archos 101 pad.
Maybe I make tomorow some screenshots of the display
regards
reporting,papago x5 failed on my archos..anyone successfully install papago x5 on archos tablet?
On the Archos: Bluetooth GPS by Googoo Android.
On my phone (an Eris): Bluetooth GPS Output by Meowsbox.
Both are free on the market, but "output" is limited to 10 minutes. If it works, its only about $1.60 for the full version.
Turn on bt on both devices, start output on phone, then start the one on the Archos. Pair and connect. Once you start seeing the readings on the Archos, you can start Google Maps and navigate! Google Maps will kick you to the settings to choose "choose bluetooth gps".
Enjoy!
I use a bt-359 gps connected with bluetooth to my A70. Found it on ebay for 7 euro and it works perfect!

Papago X5 failed on my 101 as well, but NavDroyd and Sygic Aura work like charm.
A101 + BTGP-38KM/65C from http://www.dealextreme.com/p/65-cha...king-bluetooth-gps-receiver-data-logger-26337
Globalsat bt-359 is a nice size, works well and is the best GPS I have ever used.
I use my wm phone MWG Zinc II as the gps receiver, the wm phone install the app gpsgate to become a bluetooth gps receiver, then use google map in archos to connect to the wm phone through the bluetooth.

Did the same thing with my old Omnia...using GPS2Blue...works with CoPilot, Google navigation & Sygic Aura (only 3 tested so far...
Tried phone but takes longer to fix, much worse sensativity in bad signal areas.
Plus I want phone for tethering sometimes
The bt-359 is amazing. Seconds to fix (warm start) indoors (none of my other GPS devices work in house). Also worked in a city, in car with coated windscreen with GPS just chucked in pocket down beside gearstick (also dropped in same location on another car the other day it didn't loose signal once).
Superb is the word for it
NExus one BT cannot pair?
I'm trying to test using my Nexus One's GPS
I can't even connect. I can pair the devices but thats it, its not actually connected. If I long press on the nexus one device entry the only option that comes up is unpair. Anyone else get this?
Its identical if I try it from Archos to Nexus one i.e. the N1 has paired with the archos, but there is no option to connect.
N1 running 2.2 stock
Archos running 2.1.08 stock

It will keep saying that connect but not fair until you start your GPS software if you configure the GPS correctly.
Guys, i happened to accidentally snap my internal GPS antenna on my i9k. So i plan to get myself the external Bluetooth GPS receiver from best buy (keyring type). I was wondering if anyone has any inputs on how it functions on our phone preferably on cyanogen mod rom's?

Is the GPS on the Nexus 10 a true standalone GPS receiver or an assisted GPS (needs WiFi connected)
Thanks

It should be fully capable as a GPS receiver (work without Wifi). Most devices have this nowadays.

A-GPS still uses GPS, it's just aided by WiFi and cell towers.

Im running m-10.1.3 on my nexus 4
I have to set up Bluetooth pairing every time I get in my car or I turn off Bluetooth.
I use to just be able to turn my Bluetooth and it would just connect but it stoped working after I reflashed to fix a other problems.
My radio can only hold about 5 Bluetooth profiles and it fills up and I have to delete them. After it connections it works fine.
I had my friend use his Iphone 4s and it worked fine so I know is the nexus 4. Were should I start thanks.

I am trying to find an app that will recognize when I am in proximity to a Bluetooth host and will automatically enable Bluetooth on my phone. I've seen several apps in the play store but I don't know if any if them will do what I want. I'd like my phone to turn on Bluetooth when I get in the car and turn it off when I get out of the car. (It would be nice if it would play Pandora too but I am not completely lazy!)
You should look into NFC tags. You could, for example, have one in a car mount for your phone, with an NFC app set to turn on Bluetooth and Pandora when the phone detects that tag.
