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%...
I had the same issues with the earlier release - entering the bt gps mac address did the trick for me with this build.

A little simpler method if you had already paired it -
Control Panel/Bluetooth/Devices/select your gps/edit
Your mac address is the last entry in the device details.

Working great on my N800 without the other gps apps!
