Bluetooth devices

QVX does not officially support GPS receivers that are Bluetooth or otherwise wirelessly connected.

The reason is that Bluetooth is not a fixed, permanent connection. It can be broken or restored at any time without QVX having any effect on it.

We have tested some BT GPS. When they connect, it is as a COM port and with NMEA. Then they are also recognized by QVX and work. But the next moment the connection is disconnected, or the receiver goes to sleep mode or the battery is low and then QVX loses contact. Automatic reconnection often does not happen.

We therefore advise against wireless receivers, do not provide support for them but recommend a GPS receiver connected via USB.
