I can't answer about Sendaro's plans, but even if they don't, the EarthMate is available with a bluetooth interface, and while I don't know much about bluetooth, you may be able to buy a receiver device that plugs into the serial port of the BN. You'll probably have to call Delorme for the answer to that one, and you'll need to ask if software drivers are necessary to use it if so. If this is possible, you're back to having to manage batteries again though. Unless you want to locate the receiver very far from you, I can't really imagine any real advantages to using bluetooth.
