Pseudo GPS Position from FlightSim2004 over Bluetooth

[Tic]

I'm doing some development work on a Tablet PC that normally connects to a Bluetooth GPS.

I'd like to utilise the pseudo GPS position provided by FlightSim 2004 (a downloadable utility is required - GPSout)

Unfortunately, this utility only outputs to a serial port on the host computer and the Tablet PC doesn't support any serial connectons.

Is there a way to 'divert' the serial NMEA stream from the FlightSim computer to a Bluetooth dongle on that same computer?

The net result is to have any Bluetooth equipped PDA's/Tablet PC's within range of the host FlightSim computer being able to 'see' a Bluetooth dongle that is outputting a pseudo GPS position from FlightSim.

There is a version of GPSGate that runs on a PC - it just might be able to do what you want.
