Right, and I've been using Nokia-Sports-Tracker for nearly 2 years now. > > This BT-GPS-Mouse is similar to this? http://europe.nokia.com/A4144279 > I'd love to try a BT GPS module like that, so I can know I'd not waste > $50 in order to have exactly the same fuzzy signal. No, I own a very small BT-GPS-module which runs with an AA-Battery/Accu. The reception is very good, although not SirfIII. Best results in the car at the front window, and while walking: on top of my head ;-)) <http://http://www.xaiox.com/marathon.htm> meanwhile the On/Off-switch (cap) has broken, the module felt down quite often. But it still works, I have to fiddle about for switching on or off. It has a cable with a USB-plug that can be plugged into a Car charger (both included, not for loading the accu, but for running the module). The other plug is compatible with chargers of older Nokia Cell Phones.
