Hi Dennis,
One thing to try is keep the bluetooth receiver on the same side of
your body as the BrailleNote. Bluetooth signals has a hard time
travelling through your body so the closer you can get the GPS
receiver to the BrailleNote the better.
Help this helps.

Hi
I too have a problem with my GPS receiver often continually
disconnecting. I'm using Sendero Ver 5,0 but the problem is not
specific to this version. Receiver is a Hollux Slim240 bluetooth.
Sometimes it appears to disconnect then re-connect although the
visual indicator doesn't always seem to reflect this. I get GPS
status messages telling me to reconnect, then the state of the
receiver, "connected" or "not connected", even if I have status
messages turned off. For some reason it seems to happen more when
I'm a pedestrian than when in a vehicle. I carry the receiver in a
shirt pocket or in my coat on the side nearest the GPS. But moving
the receiver around or shaking it violently doesn't seem to
replicate the disconnects and when in my pocket it's only a few
inches away from the Braillenote.
I have tried playing around with custom settings to no effect but
perhaps I need more info.
Just to be complete, when pairing, I use authentication code 0000.
Any help welcomed as Support here in the UK couldn't suggest
anything I've not tried, or do I need to update my receiver.
(smile).
Dennis.
