First of all, thanks for creating the best IT app so far...

I have just 2 comments :

- I Have not yet done the BT reset functionality by entering the text on your homepage as root (user ALL = NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 reset) in the proper location. BUT, I don't get dropouts, only I seem to have to 'kickstart' the GPS BT connection at first but enabling it a few times - what l found is that I seem to need to be moving for it to catch on.

- Does the BT plugin available from the maemo repository do any good? or is it already included with Mapper?

Thanks in advance !

The Maemo Bluetooth Plugin is not included with Maemo Mapper; you can try it out to see if it helps. Once you have it installed, just use it to connect to your bluetooth GPS receiver, then use "/dev/rfcomm1" (or maybe /dev/rfcomm2 if you're using another bluetooth device at the same time, like a keyboard) as your "MAC" in Maemo Mapper's settings.
