I succesfully paired my external GPS (Holux RCV3000), but OruxMaps doesn't succeed on using data sent.

It seems that android added a setting to allow apps to do those kind of things.

In Developer options->Mock locations you have to autorize apps. But OruxMaps doesn't show up in this list.



I use "Bluetooth GPS" and "Bluetooth GPS provider" without problems (they are a mock location provider).

Hello;



you can use an external BT GPS with oruxmaps in two ways:



1.-directly, configuring it in oruxmaps--settings--sensors--GPS



2.-as the internal GPS, through another app, like "Bluetooth GPS" and "Bluetooth GPS provider". Those apps reads the external GPS and android uses the locations as if they come from the internal GPS.
