Hello,
i have installed ur modified version of the mapper. now the bluethooth option is not grayed out any more, and I can detect the bluetooth GPS BlueNext 906. but then the mapper says "searching for GPS ..." all the time!

why is that?

As I desperately need my GPS working again for tomorrow's trip I downloaded the source of 2.6.2 and fixed it by a) a dirty hack to configure.ac (it somehow failed to detect that libgpsbt should be searched for), and b) that triggered another problem in gpsbt.c which I also made a quick fix for.

The result is the attached .deb, which works for me. I didn't change the version number (this should really have a -TA-t3 sub-version or something), but I'm really short of time. If you want to try it, download and dpkg -i it. No guarantees, it does work for me though.

I'll be back next week so I'll try to follow this up if necessary. For now, I'm a happy camper with a working MM+GPS+OS2007+N800, and maybe the .deb will help someone else too.
