What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start external GPS (e.g. Qstarz BT-Q890) and connect it to Android phone via 
BT. Check that it supplies OS with GPS data
2. Start MyTracks app
3. Try to see current location or record a new track

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
MyTracks should use GPS data from external source and show current location and 
record new tracks. Instead MyTracks doesn't get / use current GPS data, coming 
from external GPS source

What version of MyTracks are you using? On what version of Android? On what
phone?
My Tracks v2.0.9. Android v2.3.6 (or 4.4.4). Phone - Samsung inFuse.

Please provide any additional information here:
Other GPS apps on this phone are working well with current GPS data, supplied 
by external GPS data source. Foe example, Google Maps uses it well. Geotracker 
app uses it just fine as well.

My phone has very poor GPS reception (data is not accurate and often it gets 
first fix in tens of minutes, which is completely unacceptable)... Thus I have 
to use external GPS receiver (Qstarz BT-Q890). But because MyTracks can't use 
it, I have to record my tracks with Geotracker app. I'd prefer to use MyTracks, 
but it refuses to work here...
