i'm noticing a trend here. when i pair up devices -- my acer c113 tablet pc (with cambridge bluetooth) tends to pair without setting a passkey. at least it doesn't
require (or appear to prompt) the user to set that, perhaps waiting for the device to connect first before prompting for that.

since the globalsat bluetooth gps unit requires the vanilla "0000" passkey -- you need to pair the device with that passkey.

i tried for a long time to get the gps connected, manually opening the com port associated with it, but it would *not* connect till i got the passkey set.

once you do that, it works like a champ. likewise with other devices no doubt.
