First time users unfamiliar with Bluetooth pairing should follow the pairing guide above or follow the generic all steps below. Subsequent use of the application only requires you to run the Bluetooth GPS application on your phone to begin use.
Power on all devices:
Power on your Android phone and the receiving device. (PC, laptop or other device)

Enable Bluetooth Communications:
Enable Bluetooth communications on your Android phone. This can be done at the HOME screen by touching the MENU key, SETTINGS, WIRELESS & NETWORKS, and finally touching BLUETOOTH. A green check-mark will appear next to the BLUETOOTH button when it is enabled on your phone. Next, do the same on your PC or receiving device. Many laptops have a switch on the side that controls both the Wireless Internet and Bluetooth functionality. The exact procedure will vary by laptop - you should refer to the manuals or contact the manufacturer of your laptop or receiving device for help on turning on Bluetooth.

Running the Application:
Run the Bluetooth GPS application on your Android phone or device. (A short introduction will appear and repeat the same instructions as you are reading here.) You may wish to wait until the application has a lock on your location before continuing. Press the MENU button to display the main options. Then touch MAKE DISCOVERABLE and touch YES when prompted. You now have 5 minutes to complete the next step.

Pairing Your Android Phone/Device:

Go to your receiving device, typically a laptop or PC. If your computer is running Windows 7, simply click the Start button, then on DEVICES and PRINTERS on the right side. A new window will appear, click ADD A DEVICE at the top left corner. Another window will appear and show all bluetooth devices in range. Once your Android phone or device is listed, click its name from the list and continue through the prompts.

It may take a few minutes for your Android device to show if it is not immediately visible. If it is not visible within 5 minutes, you may need to repeat the previous step again.

Note that the exact procedure will vary with each laptop and operating system. Contact your manufacturer for specific help on how to PAIR A BLUETOOTH DEVICE.

Run your GPS or Third-party Application Now:
With both devices paired, you can now run your GPS or third-party application.
To continue using your phone, press HOME to hide the Bluetooth GPS application or the BACK button to QUIT the application on your phone.
