FWIW, my globalsat BT-359 GPS linked via bluetooth to my N800 running maemo mapper on during a whole Paris-Toulouse-Castres TGV (high speed train) trip ran on one charge taking 19910 data points from 2007-04-06T08:25:02+02:00 to 2007-04-06T15:11:46+02:00 so a bit less than 7 hours, resulting .gpx file is 2.6MB for about one data point per second. I turned the N800 off with one bar left when I reached the end of my trip.
I turned on the screen from time to time to see the speed of the train so this is not a bluetooth only check, and maemo mapper was running of course. The only thing is that I had to switch sound off because top speed warning in maemo mapper is limited to 300 km/hour and the TGV is sometimes above it during the trip :). All in all I assume bluetooth doesn't consume that much. Let us know your experience.
