Can any body help create some type Bluetooth virtual device.

I'm need create program on C++. When I run that program on phone as service. Phone must see that program as new Bluetooth device connected to phone. After that any other program must be can connect to that virtual device.

Do have some body any idea?

Thanks.

Hi,

Has anyone figured out this?

How can I add a virtual BT device to Nokia or better does someone have source code for 1.bt.sisx that I can view?

What are you trying to do actually? Could you explain a bit more to understand?

Hi,

I have recently bought Nokia E71 and I want TomTom to use the internal GPS. This currently does not work (TomTom runs on E71 but does not recognise internal GPS).
The only option I see, by doing some web search, is to use BinPDA GPS, gpsd and some modified version of TomTom which I would prefer not to do.

So I wanted to write an app in java (preferable) or C++ which will register itself as a bluetooth device which TomTom can connect to. Then get the gps information from internal gps and send it to TomTom.

Hope this makes sense.

Hi,

Did you try to select the Bluetooth GPS option in positioning methods? If you select this option and if your Tom Tom has Bluetooth then it should be able to connect with E71. Are you planning to write app that run in E71?

Hi,

I think you misunderstood what I am trying to do. I want to use TomTom software on E71 and want it to use internal GPS. I dont want to use the external Bluetooth TomTom GPS receiver.
FYI: TomTom software can connect to external bluetooth GPS device and works fine. I want it to use the internal GPS.

Unfortunately TomTom software does not support internal GPS so I want to write a software which will emulate a bluetooth device to which TomTom can connect. Just like BinPDA GPS ....

Hope this makes it clear.

Sorry, I myself not much familiar with TomTom. Your TomTom sw is running in the same device or in other device?
In any case if you want to pass data from phone (with Internal GPS), so what is the problem? You collect the data may be in second interval and pass it to any where by a serial connection? There are few examples in wiki. You may take a look in those.

Bit of backgrond on TomTom.

It is a GPS navigation software which uses external BT device to get the GPS data. This software runs on the phone. I can user an external BT device and connect it to the phone and TomTom works fine. The only issue is that I have to carry an additional BT device which I dont want to as E71 has internal GPS which I would like to use.

As there are no more updates for TomTom software on symbian OS I am stuck witht the version I have. Also as it only knows how to use a BT device I want to write an app which will simulate as a BT device. So as far as TomTom is concerned it will think it has connected to external BT device.

Hope this makes it clear.

OK, Now I got some point what you mean.
So you want to use your TomTom SW and the integrated GPS with your E71. You want to give idea to your Tom tom SW that it is using just external BT device. Is that right?

Now you have the data already in device and E71 can collect it for you. You need to tell Tom Tom that take from this place instead of BT device. Doe the Tom tom allow to configure in that way? If it is configurable then probably it can be done.

Other wise the existing data collected by E71 how you are going to feed to Tomtom?

Thats correct. TomTom is a software running on mobile which connects to an external Bluetooth GPS receiver.

Unfortunalte TomTom only knows how to connect to a bluetooth device and read data from it. So I want to write a virtual Bluetooth device app so that TomTom can connect to my app thinking it is connecting to an external Bluetooth device and I can send the GPS data to it.

FYI: Ling to TomTom site http://www.tomtom.com/products/featu...=1&Category=14

I am planning to use following code to add a BT device

	RBTRegServ regServ;
	TInt ret = regServ.Connect();
	//User::LeaveIfError(ret);

	RBTRegistry view;
	ret = view.Open(regServ);
	//User::LeaveIfError(ret);
	
	TRequestStatus stat;
	
	view.AddDeviceL(aDevice,stat);
	User::WaitForRequest(stat);
	ret = stat.Int();
	//User::LeaveIfError(ret);
	
	view.Close();
	regServ.Close();

I am in process of doing this. I dont have a bluetooth dongle to test the code in emulator and I am bit concerned to install my app on my phone as this is not finished yet.

Any point you have to do the bluetooth testing on my computer will be appreciated. I have a Dell D630 in inbuilt BT.
