I have the same receiver and it works perfectly. The only problems I ever had were related to it losing connection occasionally. That, and goofing with the SIRF utility completely hosed it, requiring the internal backup battery to be shorted out to reset it to factory defaults. I would suggest trying it with a PC to make sure it works.

Meamo Mapper detects it fine, but when I opt 'Enable GPS' it doesn't work, it pops up the message "Searching for GPS receiver" and stays there.

Note: the MAC address is correct, I checked with hcitool scan and tried to pair with btpair; no popup for any key though, should be 0000 ....
I don't see the device in /var/lib/bluetooth/[MAC]/linkkeys, it does show up in /var/lib/bluetooth/[MAC]/names and I have no clue whether that's ok or not....


Any hints?
