Thanks for all the previous research and work on this!

So I just bought an Archos Android Tablet (model 70S). A great little tablet but lacks a GPS radio. I still have my aging N810 so it obvious idea brought me to this thread.

I installed the bt-gps script and ran it.

When the Andoid tablet attempts to connect to it, I get this message repeated on the N810 terminal running bt-gps:

Waiting for connection on channel 1
Connection from BC:0D:A5:1B:38:66 to /dev/rfcomm2
Press CTRL-C for hangup
Disconnected
gpsbt context creation failed!
Waiting for connection on channel 1

It repeats over and over again. I expect I'm doing something wrong on the Android side as some of the utilities over there has options for the type of GPS (SIRF, MTK, NMEA, and "Other"), but I think I tried all combinations already. Note that on the N810 side I am using minigpsd, which might also be an issue I guess.

Any ideas about how to troubleshoot this further?
