I agree completely. If you are hiking in the midlands between rocks and trees full of leaves, the internal gps receiver fails. Additionally an internal gps sensor drains way more battery than an external one that is connected via bluetooth. So while the internal one is quite ok for car navigation and searching for restaurants in google maps, it is not the right thing to do hiking tours, recording tracks and working on open street maps. So there is quite a lot of use for external gps devices.
I found an app that can do it quite well: 'bluetooth gps'. It connects to my bluemax 4013 within seconds. But it only works within the software (which is just a test, no tracking/mapping/logging/caching tool), not in the system. So is there a way to replace the internal gps by an external one directly in the system?
I allready requested a bt gps-compatibility for maverick, my favourite gps programm, but this can't be an overall solution...
