Im trying to connect a RPI3 (running jessie-lite) via Bluetooth to an android phones gps output via bluetooth. I'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meowsbox.btgps to stream NMEA strings from my phone.

Using Pi 3 Bluetooth with external GPS

Im trying to connect a RPI3 (running jessie-lite) via Bluetooth to an android phones gps output via bluetooth. I'm using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meowsbox.btgps to stream NMEA strings from my phone.

The end game is to stream positioning strings from a dedicated GPS to the Pi and store them using python.

The problem(s) i'm having are:

I can scan, pair and trust my phone from within bluetoothctl however when i then try connect i get an error.

Without any success, using rfcomm bind allows me to connect to the pi using a bluetooth terminal app on android but won't let me connect to the nmea stream.

If anyone has any other ideas to try i'd be incredibly appreciative.
