It does the scan in the settings panel and finds the GPS device and then when I enbled the GPS, it just stays at "Establishing GPS Fix" and nothing happens for hours. I verified that in the xterm, i can run "cat /dev/rfcomm0" as user and get gps output. I even tried the maemo-bt-plugin and that one can connect to the GPS devise fine.

Anyone have any suggestions I can try?
Thanks!
Since you can use maemo-bt-plugin, try connecting to the GPS receiver with it, then enter "/dev/rfcomm0" as the Receiver MAC in Maemo Mapper's settings. Does it remain fixed at "Establishing GPS Fix"?

Also, is the "progress bar" next to the "Establishing GPS Fix" text filled at all, or is it empty?
