if yr android tablet doesnt hv bluetooth, the only thing that MAY (but prob a long shot) work is if it can accept a usb bluetooth dongle to give it bluetooth capability. Even then there's no guarantee it will pair with yr Holuxes (nice collection btw).

I have a China Android Tablet too - the SmartQ 4.3". It can connect via built-in bluetooth to my Holux 1000C but Papago does not support its 800X480 resolution - prob bec my tablet can only operate in landscape mode

Just to give u further details so u dont get the wrong equipment.

I hv 2 Holuxes, the 1000B n the 1000C. Diff is 1000C has built-in logger.

- My ipod touches n ipad wifi connects easily to both Holuxes. Needs to be jbed.

- For Samsung Galaxy SL, somehow it only connects to my 1000C thru the Bluetooth App although some other apps with built-in bluetooth function like Locus can connect to the 1000B.

- My HTC Legend refuses to even pair with any of the Holuxes so i hv to use the internal gps chip.

Hope the above helps. Of course there r other bluetooth gps out there like Garmin etc but i hv not tried them. Let me know the results if u try.

P.s: just reread n saw tt u mentioned u hv the Qstarz, presumably a bluetooth gps? Let us know if u get it to work with yr Samsung


I am still charging my Qstarz BT-1000.
The green led should light up during charging but didn't.
Hope this is not a sign of device malfunction.

I have found two software close to your mentioning in Market:
1. Bluetooth GPS by Googoo Android and
2. Bluetooth GPS Provided by mobile-j.de.

Hope you don't telling us which is the one you are recommending.

u can try by
1. renaming one of the folder inside 'organic' folder so that it matches your device's native resolution (eg. 600X1024). then change also the inside th language folder (CH, EN. . .)
2. look for spare parts in android market & follow the instruction (tick/untick compatibity mode, reboot etc). there's a video on this on utube

Thks for the tips. Will try n read up further before trying.

Funny thing is, the resol of my SmartQ tablet is 800x480 which is the same as my galaxy sl. If Papago X5 can run on my galaxy in both portrait n landscape mode, i dun c why it cannot run on my tablet

Correction on my previous post - Papago only runs on my Samsung in portrait mode - i got mixed up with my iPod Papago M6/M8 which can run in both portrait and landscape mode.

Good news is i managed to get Papago X5 to run on my SmartQ tablet. But only because i found a setting to set my tablet in portrait mode so in effect Papago is running in the same 480X800 resol as in my Samsung.
