The same problem occurs when using version 1.0.1

Another gps libs have problem too with this pairing but navigami works.

Found the problem: the first read always timed out and j4me started to 
reconnect in
an infinite loop. I changed the READ_TIMEOUT in BluetoothGPS.java

from  

READ_TIMEOUT = SLEEP_BEFORE_READ + 1000

to

READ_TIMEOUT = SLEEP_BEFORE_READ + 3000 

so it works now. 

What the cause of the timeout was, I don't now exactly. Maybe the LD-3W is slow 
and
there is some delay in the v3x and the two together was too much. 

It would be an honor to test the fix of this issue in the next release!

I will make the fix soon.  It is a bit tough during the Holidays.

Sounds like the read timeout thread should not start until after the first 
read.  Or
at least have a much larger initial timeout.  I'll play around with our phones 
and
GPS and when I get something reasonable I'll have you test it.

I'm guessing the timeout has to do with the Motorola phone.  We added it 
because the
Motorola JVM is very bad about handling lots of data coming through Bluetooth.  
Most
often it just stops responding and doesn't notify you.  So the read timeout was 
added
as a way to detect that state.  It is interesting the Nokia E61 also had the 
problem.

Thank You!

 The Nokia E61 didn't have the problem: I have two phones (Nokia E61, Motorola V3X)
and two gps modules (LD-3W and a noname) and only one of the four combinations 
have
this issue.
