Hello, QGIS users,

Here's my problem: I have a bluetooth connection to a GPS unit (Trimble R1) getting nice submeter accuracy positions, that I can see in my GNSS status program on my laptop. So GPS is working and my laptop sees all the positional data.

I would like qGIS to plot my position live on a GIS with layers displayed in the GIS. To accomplish this, I installed the GPS Information plugin, and loaded it in a panel in qGIS. In the settings tab, I chose from a menu the com port that the GNSS server is using. Voila, the positions appeared on the qGIS layer and moved around as I moved around, submeter accuracy. Great I thought it is working.

But no -- the next time I tried this it no longer worked, because the com port connecting to the GNSS server no longer appears in the settings tab of the GPS Information plugin. The plugin apparently connects via bluetooth, gets all the com information, and lists several com ports that are in use by the GPS unit, but omits the one com port that the GNSS server is using! Before it was listed, now it no longer is listed, and there apparently is no way to write in a com port, you have to choose from a menu -- and all ports but the correct port are listed in the menu. Very frustrating.

If anybody can help with this I would be very grateful, thanks!
-BR
