Like the people at GPS Passion, I also wondered if any of these Bluetooth GPS receivers would have a screen so they could be used as stand-alone devices. I'm glad to see somebody "listened". :-)

What... so now I can find my briefcase if it is in Bluetooth range?

I am assuming this will work with bluetooth enabled ipaq, along with Destinator software right. I am definitely getting one if that is the case. However, are there any reviews available?

[gpspassion]

If it works with Destinator.
I should really start working on a review ;-)
but in a few words, you can think of it as an eTrex with a BT connection and 3AAA's instead of two AA's!

After a lot of sweat and toil ;-) the review is now online!
