[gps-talkusers] Re: Sportrak VS. EarthMate

In terms of Sendero's plans for a Bluetooth GPS receiver, we will be 
looking at that in conjunction with the BrailleNote PK. Since the existing 
BrailleNote does not have Bluetooth and we don't know of a serial Bluetooth 
receiver, we'll stick with the current Earthmate. If someone learns of such 
a Bluetooth serial transceiver, by all means let us know.
