How to make built-in GPS phone as external GPS receiver (tested by Garmin PC with N95 and N82)

How to use your phone's built-in GPS module externally on laptop via Bluetooth. It is mainly targeted for Nokia N95, E90, 6110 Navigator handsets, allowing you to use existing, more sophisticated GIS applications.

Requirement:
- ExtGPS for s60 v3
- GPS Navigator that needs external receiver installed on a laptop
eg: Garmin Mobile PC 5.00.60g

Tested by:
Toshiba NB100 (netbook)
Toshiba built-in Bluetooth
Built-in GPS cellphone (I was using N82 & N95 8GB)


Step by step configurations:
- Install ExtGPS for s60 v3 to your built-in GPS cellphone
- Turn on your cellphone bluetooth, make it visible by other device
- Launch ExtGPS on the cellphone
- Enable your laptop bluetooth radio

double click bluetooth launcher icon or
start>all program>Toshiba>bluetooth>bluetooth settings

- Make new connection between your laptop to your cellphone via bluetooth
new connection>customs mode>select bluetooth device name>

select service class>serial port
service name>Symarctic ExtGPS

Assignment of COM port name>decide which COM port
or tick use default COM port>check which COM port it has been assigned

set up of COM port completed

setup connection name>you can change name and icon
create shortcut on desktop
registration of connection information completed.

- Connect your your laptop to your cellphone via bluetooth
Find out the shortcut on desktop
double click and let it establish the connection

- Check connection status on cellphone, when it's connected, face your cellphone directly to sky to get positioning satellite signal, if it done will be shown as follow:

- Launch GARMIN Mobile PC on your laptop
- Configure GPS receiver to use serial port : I was using port no 47 as above setup, then enable it.
- Try navigate somewhere and your laptop will guide you to go here and there up to destination,

"NO INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED"
I don't find the necessary to get it all, because my N82 & N95 8GB can do independently, but I would be happy if my existing laptop also can help me, yeaaah... just empowering (the existing) device!
