I then go into the "Setting" "Control Panel" "GPS location" and pair with a new device and searches for the new device, so good so far.
It then asks to pair using the four digit code. The problem is that the GPS does not have a keyboard to enter the pairing digits.
Does anyone have a work around for this basic bug?
I had the same problem. What i done was uncheck the box, exited Wayfinder, and turned off the GPS reciever. Then i restarted Wayfinder, turned on the GPS reciever, and checked the box, then after about 30 seconds everything was working as it should.

As for pairing the two devices, my GPS reciever is set to 0000, so i just need to type 0000 on the N800, and added the GPS to Bluetooth Devices. Now the N800 finds and connects to the GPS everytime i start Wayfinder.
