Not being too happy with the internal receiver on my N95 I bought and external one (HBTGPSOL BT Solar GPS Bluetooth GPS Receiver by Hamletcom.com).
It is very easy to connect by bluetooth but I cannot figure how to switch the phone from using the internal receiver to the bluetooth one.

Any ideas ???

To activate Bluetooth positioning, Goto Tools>Settings>General>Positioning>Positioning Methods. Make sure Bluetooth GPS is ticked.

You will get a meassage asking you whether or not you want to activate bluetooth everytime you run Maps. If you say yes, it goes to bluetooth if you say no it goes to the internal GPS receiver.

There is no real need to disable the others.
