Could you please reveal more details? What is your OS?

Naouali

it's ubuntu 10.04
i was able to connect to the gps device using rfcomm and get the coordinations after reading a file (it's something like /dev/? ) what i want is to manage everything programatically using Qt.

Check "the Connectivity API which is part of Qt Mobility":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2.0-beta1/connectivity-api.html and class "QRfcommServer":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2.0-beta1/qrfcommserver.html

Best regards,

thanks for that.
Is there a possibility to use bothe "QNmeaPositionInfoSource":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.1.0-beta/qnmeapositioninfosource.html and " QRfcommServer":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2.0-beta1/qrfcommserver.html to read data directly from the device and output the result ?
i checked QNmeaPositionInfoSource but i should set the device to be able to read the data . how can i get the dvice from " QRfcommServer":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2.0-beta1/qrfcommserver.html ?

Have a look at "Bluetooth Chat Example":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/qtmobility-1.2.0-beta1/btchat.html to see how to use the Qt Connectivity Bluetooth API and QRfcommServer.
