Bluetooth GPS GPT-801 / Quick Review

I purchased the generic GPT-801 bluetooth GPS after being put-off by the high price of others. Basically the device works. It does everything a bluetooth GPS should do. The GPS charges via mini USB and uses standard Nokia cell phone batteries. Battery life is good at about 6 hours. This is a moot point because the device came with a car charger.
