Hello Peggy,
The only difference is that now the software can detect if the
Bluetooth is turned on or off in the Keysoft connectivity options
menu, otherwise its the same as in GPS 4.03.
My suggestion to you is the following.
Go into GPS and select the "No GPS receiver option" in the GPS
receivers options menu. I would then do a 456 / JKL reset, then go
into keysoft connectivity options menu and turn off and back on
bluetooth. Then search for your device again and pair and activate
the receiver then go into the GPS program and select the bluetooth
GPS receiver.
What sometimes happens is that the wrong port is being opened by
mistake and by clearing out both the restistry (with a 456 reset) and
clearing out what the GPS program has (by selecting No GPS, and then
select the Bluetooth after you have successfully paired and
activated) will everything be in sync and the program should behave
as expected.
Hope this helps you out.
Cheers
Charles.

Hi, all. I'm looking through the documentation to see if I can find
an answer to this, but so far I haven't found it, so I thought I'd
ask on the list.
With 4.1, I would turn on my Holux 1000, then enter GPS. If it
didn't recognize that a receiver was on, I'd hit c, and it would try
to connect, and would be successful. Often when I entered GPS, it
would find the receiver right away.
With 4.2, it almost never seems to realize the receiver is on, so I
hit c and it tries to connect, then tells me again the receiver
isn't on. So I have to exit GPS, turn off the Holux for a few
seconds, turn it back on, then go back into GPS, and everything is
fine. I'm using speech on request, so maybe I need to turn speech
on to hear if it's telling me to do something I don't know
about. But although the changes document says the software is
smarter about recognizing a bluetooth receiver, mine seems to be
dumber. Or maybe it's the operator who's dumber? <sigh> Can
anyone tell me what I'm missing here? And I promise I'll keep
reading, because it's probably documented somewhere and I just
haven't found it. But we're going out for a walk soon, and I don't
want to have to fiddle with things for a while before heading out. <grin>
