Works with new Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0

 

I struggled to connect this GPS to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 running Ice Cream Sandwich Android OS. Things are now working great thanks to the Googoo Android Bluetooth GPS app. I had to check "insecure connection" in the preferences of the app. Also...

Would be perfect if it had Win 7 drivers.

 

Would be perfect if it had Win 7 drivers. Works well with my IPAQ and with my XP laptop but I can't get it to work on Win 7 machines. Strong signal strengths are a plus.

Annoying to set up, great to use

 

The included documentation made no mention of the fact that Android users will need to install an app to get a device of this type to function. That information is buried in a forum post at the manufacturer's web site and was mentioned nowhere in the...
