3.3 Connection to an external GPS

In this case, the Bluetooth connection of the device must be enabled to establish communication with the external GPS (which must also be compatible with this type of connection).
When this mode is selected, the options for connecting with the external device will be shown. Brand and model must be selected using the spinners. The brands and models in the list have a basic configuration that is sent from the application in order to make easier to start working.
If a different configuration is needed or the model is not in the list, GENERIC option allows to connect with any device that is configured previously.

The application stores the information of the last GPS configured, but if no one was used before, a GNSS can be found by pressing the button Device.
In this screen, Search button will start the searching of near Bluetooth devices. When the ID (or the MAC if the receiver has no ID) is shown in the list, it could be selected.
