Quick question, don't cell phones already have GPS built in? I have an HTC Touch Pro that I used as a GPS today. Is there a benfit to using this as well?
This should provide location information (latitude, longitude, altitude) to any device (e.g. laptop, netbook, cell phone, PDA, etc) that can connect to this using bluetooth. However, to make use of the location information, you need some software on the device, such as a navigation program, Google maps for mobile, etc.
If you have a cell phone that has bluetooth and has the capability to connect to this device, then you can use a navigation software on your cellphone to find your way around. Most entry-level cellphones do not have this capability even if they have bluetooth (which they only use to connect to headphones). Phones that run Windows mobile or blackberry or Symbian S60 might be able to use this device. However, you need a navigation program on your phone. If you have Google Maps for Mobile (which needs a data plan to work), it can use this too.

I can't imagine there would be any advantage. My Mogul's internal GPS works quite well actually and a lot of cell phones have GPS built in (including your Touch Pro). A quick check on eBay shows this item is readily available for a little over $30 shipped. So the price is definitely good, but not nearly as amazing as they'd like you to believe.
Please remember, you'll still need software if you get this.

Site is hanging. Wonder what's going on? Definitely a good deal.
I guess some people could foresee the end of GPS devices like such since almost all smartphones will have GPS built-in in the future. Plus GPS Units for Cars are getting cheaper too.
