Garmin's new Bluetooth GPS receiver for the Palm - GPS 10
Garmin also announced today the Garmin GPS 10 receiver for use with Palm OS devices. The unit receives the GPS signal and then transmits it to the Palm device for use with Palm based GPS software. This makes it possible for you to have the GPS receiver in clear view of the sky while your PDA is in clear view of you!
"Palm OS-based products, such as the Treo 650, are renowned for their robust and feature-rich applications, and adding Garmin's GPS navigation expands this portfolio of applications" said Gary Kelley, Garmin's vice president of marketing. "The GPS 10 gives Palm customers with Bluetooth enabled devices a cost-effective way to integrate turn-by-turn GPS navigation with electronic devices they already own and are familiar with."
The GPS 10 software makes it possible for a Palm OS-based personal digital assistant (PDA) or smart phone to become a portable GPS navigation device. With a fully-integrated, wireless, WAAS-enabled GPS receiver and transceiver with Bluetooth technology, the GPS 10 provides strong reception and data transmission up to 30-feet. The compact and waterproof device may be discreetly mounted inside or outside a vehicle. The GPS 10 has a rechargeable lithium ion battery for up to 12-hours of use, and a 12-volt adapter for added flexibility.
The GPS 10 Deluxe package includes MapSource City Navigator North America mapping software, which offers nearly six million points of interest and detailed street-level mapping of the entire U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Map data is provided by NAVTEQ. The GPS 10 Deluxe has an estimated retail price of $249.99 (street).
