Same issue here: I have a MDA WM5 w/ a Holux GPSlim236 Bluetooth

I see all maps fine also see traffic fine

my only issue is with the GPS integration, just not working (paring
with the program)

My GPS works fine with every other program i have ie.. GPSDash2 and
PocketStreets

Found these sites to be some help but have not tried them yet.
