Is the BT module the same as the emtac just rebadged???

Dave

Official response from TravRoute is that it's a different device and it has a different FCC id. Performance wise, very similar.

Any progress with the CoPilot Bluetooth testing Question

I'm currently using the CoPilot jacket and seriously considering purchasing the Bluetooth receiver if it gets the thumbs up

Thanks

Hi,

Quick question:

If you have already got say the 3870 or 3970..i.e with Bluetooth.

Does the Bluetooth GPS Receiver give any advantage over the none Bluetooth GPS Receiver?

Thanks

Matt

Yes. it's cable less so you don't have to mess around with cables dangling across your dashboard. Enhancements over Compact Flash for out walking is it has it's own battery source, so unlike Compact Flash, it's not draining the power of the Pocket PC.
