Hi All,

A quick question (hopefully new). I', looking at a GPS for an axim (x50 if the darned thing ever gets released) or other pocket PC.
The way I see it a CF based GPS sucks about 90mA from the PDA's battery. This would lead to suggesting operational longevity would be better served using a bluetooth GPS and keeping the PDA's battery for running the PDA .... BUT .... how much power does a bluetooth transmitter suck when operating ?

if anyone has any figures on this it'd be great

Thanks

Shoei
