Anybody using a bluetooth GPS unit to support navigation on a PDA ...

If yes, appreciate if you can mention what hardware and software you
are using ....

Do you gave any reliability issues ... any issues with RF
interference, etc ....

thanks,

I use a Palm Tungsten T running SoaringPilot. My bluetooth GPS is an
iTrek M5 (Semsons.com). The GPS will run at least 12 hours (manufacturer
claims over 20 hours, I have only tested it to 12).

The GPS is very small. I just stick it to the canopy rail with velcro.

This setup has worked reliably for me for the last 5 years. Never fails
to connect immediately. Never had it drop out on me.
