Re: configure bluetooth GPS

I have a T-Mobile MDA and am tryng to get my Holux GPSlim 240 to
work.  It works with MS Street but not Google maps (I love google maps
mobile).

I don't have a reg editor and am cautious about messing things up.  I
have 2 questions:
1. Did Google post any instructions on how to set up a GPS for Google
Maps for Mobile?
2. Has anyone used the Reg entries provided by TransFXB on a T-Mobile
MDA?
Thanks.
