[gps-talkusers] Re: traffic noise, speakers

A while back you mentioned a Bluetooth dangle that worked with a Bluetooth
headset.  Could you give details of how well it works and where to get the
dangle?  Will it work with the m-Power and with the Bluetooth GPS receiver
at the same time?

I don't think you want Sendero in the business of manufacturing mass market
consumer electronics. One has to sell hundreds of thousands before they can
be $15 like the Radio Shack speaker.

We'll just have to hope one day one of the big manufacturers will bring out
a small Bluetooth speaker. The other possibility would be bone conduction
head phones. I have tried some in the past. Although they work well because
they don't cover your ears, they take at least 4 WATS of amplification,
twice that of the Radio Shack speaker.
If bone conduction technology improves, perhaps this will be a good option
in the future.

I use the Radioshack mini speaker but even this is realy too big with yet
another wire flapping about, it really would be an important asset if
sendero were to make a small speaker an option.
