[Grog and Kernelpanic]:

Those are the steps I did to make the bluetooth GPS work on the N800 in roadmap and getmaps:

1- You need to find the MAC address of your bluetooth GPS. Please turn off any other Bluetooth device near (the discoverability)...
Turn on the BT-GPS and with bluez-utils installed - issue in xterm "hcitool scan".

2- Select and copy the MAC address.

3- in RoadMap preferences select the bluetooth tab and paste the MAC address in Bluetooth address and select Bluetooth enabled yes.

...

(No need to open maemo-mapper before roadmap in N800 anymore!)

PD. with Bluetooth-GPS enabled the processor is constantly in 52-55% and when I move the map it goes 100%...
