Bluetooth GPS
Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2005 8:57 pm
Hello,
I'm wondering how Bluetooth GPS works if Bluetooth is only made for short range communication between devices. My question stems from the fact that I saw USB-bluetooth adapters on sale at my local comp store for $44 (CDN), and I'm wondering if I can plug that into my laptop, load some software and it will work. I saw special bluetooth GPS recievers, but those are $200+. Any knowledge is appreciated.
Thanks.
