I have played around with the GPS10 location to make sure the compass swing
is negligible. Since I use it in my car as well, I am reluctant for now to
remove the magnets. Thanks for the info on the magnet removal.

The GPS10 has, IMO, some pretty strong magnets. They're designed to hold
the unit on to the hood of your car at speeds (it's also water resistant).
I
removed the magnets, because it "can" affect the compass, (removal of
which
obviously voids any warranty), by "gently" prying the split around the
sides
apart. The two half's are held together by, what appears to be, a silicone
based glue. The three magnets inside are held in place by a harder glue,
like epoxy. I think the GPS10 is a very good Bluetooth sensor.
Also, if you take out the magnets, you'll see what the rechargable
battery
looks like, in case you every have to replace it yourself, in a couple
years. But, it would void the warranty.

To support the Bluetooth upgrade I also order a Garmin GPS10 Bluetooth
GPS receiver and a Belkin PCMCIA carrier/compact Flash card to add BT
to the tablet.
