Were you able to get it working before you upgraded to 3? I wasn't able to but I haven't tried yet with build 3214 and the improved USB support.

 

No I could not get it to work .With the new usb I hope to get it to work now.Trying toget help here in the forum.

I've got a BT-20 and a MBP w/Bluetooth built in. I'd love to use the GPS under XP but I can't seem to get it show up in the device manager. Anyone else have any luck doing this?

 

Solution to Bluetooth GPS

I had the same question. Found the answer on MacOSXhints.
Essentially, you connect the bluetooth GPS to the mac. You then use a program called SerialClient, which connect to the serial port of you GPS and transfers data to /tmp/serial.

MacOSXhints has more details.

It works great.

Here is title of the article and link.
