VMWare Fusion, Bluetooth, and Windows GPS software
Authored by: gm80 on Sep 05, '07 07:53:17AM

The way to do this back in the VirtualPC days was to configure a Mac serial port for the Bluetooth device, under System Preferences -> Bluetooth -> Devices -> Edit Serial Ports.

Then all you had to do was "connect" the specific serial port to the Virtual PC, rather than the entire Bluetooth adapter. Most GPS software natively understands a serial-connected device, and it looks like a wired device to the PC, with Mac OS handling the Bluetooth-serial translation.

Not sure if it still works with the newer virtualized solutions for Intel, though.
