This section provides information about the Bluetooth profiles and related Bluetooth features that are available in this release of Windows Embedded NavReady.
Bluetooth is a wireless communication technology that allows devices, within a 10-meter proximity, to communicate with each other. The discovery process enables devices to query other devices about the services they offer. If a device offers more than one service, users can select the service they want to use from that particular device.
With Windows Embedded NavReady, a portable navigation device (PND) can support the following Bluetooth profiles in order to connect to a Bluetooth-enabled device and use its services:
- Hands-Free Profile (HFP) to make a hands-free phone call
- Dial-up Networking (DUN) Profile to establish an Internet connection
- Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP) to obtain contacts from a phone book on a mobile phone
- Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) to stream audio to another device that supports audio output
- Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) to let another device control the playback of digital audio
