Default GPS Setting on Dash Question

I just recently switch back to smartphone (from MDA). I have a bluetooth GPS that worked fine on the MDA, but I have no luck setting this GPS to work on my Dash.

I was able to pair the bluetooth GPS to the Dash, but unlike the MDA there is no GPS setting on the Dash.

Any suggestion?

TIA

Finally found the link below to hack the registry to get my BT GPS device to work with Google Mobile Maps. Works great.

This may have been posted aready, but after hacking the registry using above instruction. I followed the link above to the second page and I discovered Live Search map. This is 10 X better than the Google Mobile Maps, without having to hack the registry in the first place. Now I have full blown Navitation system on my DASH (minus the voice) without having to purchase the expensive map solftware. Absolutely love this freebie Live Search software.
