I've been able before but on a different machine but for some reason, My Macbook Pro can't connect to the gps. I've tried Bluetooth, USB, /dev/cu.QstarzGPS-SPPslave, /dev/tty.QstarzGPS-SPPslave, several comXX but no luck.

What should I look for either to provide better information or to fix the problem? I'm running BT747 V1.68.32 (28.12.2009)
Thanks in advance,

Try a RXTX2.2_pre version. I am not checking now, but I am not sure that I've released that for the 1.68.32 version. You'll be using a 2.X. version. Don not worry to much about it not being officially stable, it is stable enough (I should be making one 'officially' stable).
I was getting nowhere using
I was getting nowhere using the standard Mac OSX version of the software. When I tried the RXTX 2.2pre, everything worked immediately.
Thanks for the excellent tool - I might suggest that the 2.2pre be recommended as the default version for Mac users - I generally avoid pre or beta versions, and this would have saved me a couple hours of fussing around with a version that was never going to work for me...
