For those of you who have upgraded to Keysoft 7 on the mPower or BrailleNote Classic, your GPS version 3.3 should continue to work. You might have to reinstall it but everything will work normally.

Since GPS is under the "Navigation" menu under Keysoft 7, it takes a while to get used to pressing N from the Main Menu instead of G, which will now get you Games.

On the PK with Keysoft 7, you will need a free GPS 3.3.1 version as the directory structure has changed on the PK to make it the same as the mPower. Email your serial number for your PK to Sheila@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for the 3.3.1 file.

You will also notice slightly different behavior under Keysoft 7 with regard to activating your Bluetooth GPS receiver. Under Keysoft 6 on the mPower, you should be very familiar with 3 steps for activating the receiver which are, Activate, Reset and Activate again. Under Keysoft 7, it is no longer necessary to reset and reactivate. All you have to do is to Activate Activesync once if you have performed a reset.

On the PK under KS6, you had to deactivate and reactivate after doing a reset. Under KS7, once you do a reset, the PK is already deactivated and you just have to activate it once.

You may find that you need to pause at the Main menu for 5 seconds or so before pressing N for Navigation, otherwise you may get a Bluetooth not connected message.

A new Getting Started document has been adjusted with these Keysoft 7 connectivity details.
