The last step is to set the SXBlue II GPS as a favourite device for the serial Com port. In the
bottom menu, select “Tools”, “My Favorites…”. Select “Use the favorite selected above” and in
the pull-down menu for “My favorite COM port device:”, select the SXBlue II GPS. Tap on “Ok”
on the top right corner to close the window. The SXBlue II GPS icon should now appear with a
small red heart and, in this example, is set as a favourite on COM port 4. An application calling

1.3.2.3 Windows Mobile with WidComm driver
Most iPaq series PDA’s from Hewlett Packard (HP) use drivers from Widcomm Inc. Below is a
typical Bluetooth configuration for these devices.
Tap the Bluetooth icon on the bottom right corner and from the menu, select “Bluetooth
Settings”. In the settings window, scroll right to the “Serial Port” tab, and only the “Enable
service” option should be checked. Some driver versions will show “Inbound” and “Outbound”
COM ports. Since the software on the PDA will be initiating the Bluetooth communication with
the SXBlue II GPS, the “Outbound COM Port” is the port number that should be specified in the
software. Close the window by clicking on “Ok” on the top right corner.
