[Qgis-user] Connecting a bluetooth Garmin GPS to a MAC for live tracking in QGIS

[MacQueen, Don]

Well, I really don’t know … but based on ancient experience with connecting a data logger to a Mac serial port, I looked in /dev on my Mac.

ls /dev
   …lots of entries, among them is:
   tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port

So maybe that can be used somehow…

Hi !

Well, the title says it all !!! I am trying to connect a Garmin 3580LM GPS unit via bluetooth so QGis can use it…Paired OK with Mac, cannot find serial port number, as neither Autodetect or Serial works…

Any help appreciated !

André
