Reply With QuoteIt was possible up to MapSource version 6.5 to show GPS position in MapSource.
After that Garmin moved the functionality to nRoute instead. It's only reading GPS data from a Garmin GPS with Garmin protocol. With NMEA 0183 GPS data you need to transform that with Franson GPS Gate.

MapSource/Bluetooth Antenna
Hello,
Is it possible to use an bluetooth antenna connected to a netbook loaded with Mapsource in order to visualize the current GPS position?
Thank for your answer.

@tom1807
The possibility you're mentioning is already covered at the bottom of post #1. Even with a link to your GMPC thread.

Thank you all.
I install GMPC and now I am wondering what model of Bluetooth antenna will be compatible?
(Horus GPSlim236 is OK? or is there a more recent one?)

I have a Holux GPSlim236 that works perfectly with GMPC. It works with all Bluetooth or serial GPS that provides a standard NMEA 0183 data stream.
Just use the JetMouse KG to generate 25-char code for "SW.UNL" file. Otherwise GMPC will only work with Garmin GPS protocol.
