 Posted: Fri Sep 08, 2006 2:52 pm Post subject: Bluetooth serial from GPS |
 |
|
I've been using ChartCase Express with my tablet in the cockpit, with
a bluetooth GPS. It's worked great, and I've not seen any interference
to speak of.
What I'm considering now is taking it one step further. Instead of
worrying about GPS batteries, or putting the little GPS on the
glareshield, I'm thinking of buying a bluetooth serial port
similar to this one: http://www.pc-mobile.net/bta.htm
The only catch is, this one is for 4800baud, when the GPS is 9600
baud, so I'll probably have to step up to something like this:
http://www.iogear.com/main.php?loc=product&Item=GBS301
that can be configured for multiple data rates.
I know it's not the cheapest way to go...my bluetooth GPS only
cost $55 or so, plus shipping, but it would be nice to have
hardwired power, and rely on my existing GPS that is really
reliable, and also not have to carry anything portable along with
me.
Has anyone else done something similar? It seems like it should
be pretty simple. What I'm really hoping for is to find someone
who's done similar with some components, instead of buying
a whole device. It seems the right things are out there:
