Now that I've got Gingerbread on the device - next step is to get bluetooth and GPS working:
Plugged in the bluetooth dongle: is recognised by the device and I can turn on bluetooth (the bluetooth options weren't on the Froyo version).
Scan for devices - finds bluetooth GPS unit, and will pair with it. But not recognised as GPS unit.
Visit market - download and install Bluetooth GPS provider. Also get GPS essentials while I'm there.
BT GPS provider installed - turn on and connect - is showing satellite info from GPS receiver.
Start GPS essentials - shows GPS data including lat long and position on map.
Looks as though it's all working ok.
A bit fiddly to connect up all the bits - might be an easier way to do it - but at least it works!
Open Orux Maps - shows map centered on current location - seems to work ok.
(OK, stationary in my study at the moment, will need to see what it does with movement tomorrow)
