Yes I know yet another gadget but hey that's my bag, and when I first found this item I knew it would be the answer to my recent problem.
My previous receiver a Rickaline 6030 had given up the ghost, after many journeys of unblemished and accurate service. So off it was to the best shop in town, which never closes "yep" the World Wide Web. Now I had an inkling that I wanted a Bluetooth version GPS receiver, to dispense with the myriad of cables and wires snaking round my dashboard. Like most I was concerned about battery life and connectivity. After searching for several hours I had discovered several and was about to purchase Tom Tom's own branded GPS receiver.

Manufacturer's product description
Compact design, longer battery life, superior performance and of course, support for a full spectrum of multimedia applications, the ASUS MyPal A620BT incorporated all four elements and more to mobilize your multimedia experience. With the Bluetooth support, MyPal A620BT enables faster, larger, and safer data peripheral connection and convenient data transfer with various Bluetooth devices at the same time. Moreover, it's even more power saving! Just throw away the redundant Bluetooth CF card; you can now enjoy a more convenient, more comfortable, and more efficient communicating experience! MyPal A620BT integrated Microsoft Windows Mobile 2003 provides an ideal platform by providing enhanced wireless capability, robust communication tools and new applications and features to benefit business users and consumers. Users can now truly enjoy the convenience of mobile computing with great performance and multimedia functions. The MyPal A620BT comes equipped with a Type II Compact Flash (CF) slot, while maintaining size at a nimble dimension of 125mm x 76.8mm x 13.3mm. Enjoy a wide variety of CF-based multimedia applications such as digital camera, TV tuner, radio and more without being burdened by the size and weight of an add-on CF jacket. Through the CF slot, the MyPal A620BT also enables both wired and wireless communications standards such as GPS, WLAN, LAN and GPRS. Total of 87.2MB (85.2MB for Eastern language) user memory (55.2MB/53.2MB SDRAM and extra 32 MB Flash ROM) provide you the more storage capacity for your data and programs. You could back up the important data in the Flash ROM! ASUS employed the revolutionary SmartKeeper technology to resolve your fear of losing important data.
