| New Bluetooth GPS receivers |
Bluetooth is the short-range wireless technology designed to replace cables between computers and peripherals by using a standard wireless format. Bluetooth GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers use this technology to wirelessly connect to a Bluetooth-enabled laptop or Pocket PC that has GPS software installed on it. Bluetooth GPS solutions are a recent phenomenon and have become popular navigation devices because of fast satellite acquisition.
The major benefit of a Bluetooth-enabled GPS receiver is that it doesn't have to be physically connected to the Pocket PC. That eliminates a tangle of cables that dangle in your way while you are walking or driving. In addition, Bluetooth solutions let you position the GPS receiver for optimal GPS reception, and your Pocket PC separately for the best viewing. Bluetooth can travel around corners, and through clothing and other material.
Because it is not physically connected to the Pocket PC, a Bluetooth GPS receiver must have its own power supply. This means it will not drain your Pocket PC's battery. This also means that you have to make sure the battery on the GPS receiver is charged. The Pocket PC must also be equipped with a Bluetooth receiver, but the power drawn by this is minimal.
Bluetooth GPS receivers are handy enough to be turned on and placed near a car window shortly before you are ready to go. This allows it to locate the GPS satellite signals and be ready when you are. Bluetooth GPS receivers are sold by TeleType, TomTom, ALK Technologies (CoPilot), Pharos, and, most recently, HP. |
