How to setup a bluetooth GPS system for the Samsung Blackjack

The Samsung Blackjack does not come with a built in GPS reciever. If you want to use GPS for navigating your way around while driving you have two options. The first is to pay around 100$ to get a bluetooth reciever from Cingular. The big issue with this is that then you also have to pay a monthly fee to use their TeleNav GPS Navigator service.

Your other option is to get your own bluetooth GPS receiver and connect it to the blackjack. You can then use free applications like Google maps mobile and Windows Live to get directions without a monthly fee. There are also map programs you can purchase separately to load on to your phone.

So far I have not tried this myself, but I will probably try it out in the near future. In the meantime here is a tutorial to get you started. Its a little bit tricky and involves some registry editing but once you have this setup you can get GPS without having to pay a monthly fee.
