[gps-talkusers] Re: Trackers

chip I have a Bluetooth earth.  it cost 250.00.  it sits in a little cradle 
and the thing is still no bigger than  I'd like to say cigarettes but its 
not that big. it works grate but I still haven't had it running with my gps 
talk yet.  I have to change the port somehow but I haven't figured out how. 
yet that is!
