The following is a step by step for configuring the GlobalSat BT-338 with a Windows Mobile 5 device (such as the K-Jam or QTEK 9100).  However this should work with any bluetooth Gps and WM5 device.comm manager

Pairing the Bluetooth Gps with WM5

  1. Open the Comm Manager in programs or from the Today Screen
  2. Turn on Bluetooth
  3. Select Settings > Bluetooth Settings
  4. Click the Devices Tab
  5. Click New Partnership (ensure your Gps is on first)
  6. You may be prompted for a passkey - the BT-338 uses: 0000
  7. Click Finish
  8. Click the COM Ports tab (shown below)
  9. Click New Outgoing Port, select the BT device, then the COM port you want to use (I used COM7).  Make sure "Secure Connection" is not checked.  Then click Finish.

    COM Ports

Configuring the Gps in WM5

  1. Go to Start > Settings > Connections
  2. Do you have the GPS icon?  If not see the post here to get it.
  3. I ignored the Programs tab (though I understand some Dell devices need this setup)
  4. On the Hardware tab select the COM port you chose in step 9 above (I used COM7) and the speed for your device (I used 57600 for the BT-338)
  5. On the Access tab select "Manage GPS automatically"
  6. Click OK
