Last year I got a cheap-o Bluetooth GPS from CompGeeks (http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=WHT-BT-5&cat=GPS) that was $35, has a battery that seems to last forever, and charges via a standard USB port. Yes, it can charge and act as a GPS, no it can't transmit any data over USB. I've been using it with gpsdrive (and gpsd) for a while. Works really nicely and is a great price for anyone that wants to experiment with either GPS or bluetooth devices. -Mark _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
