What software does it use, and how much did you pay for it? Have you tested it on the road?

Btw, unveiled at CES, http://www.anandtech.com/tradeshows/showdoc.aspx?i=3710&p=3

Scroll down and you'll see. smile.gif

I bought one for about RM350 (incl. shipping) if I'm not mistaken. I prefer this to TomTom car kit because it's much smaller, and you can carry it anywhere. I use it with my Ipod Touch to track my jogging distance.

You must jailbreak your Ipod Touch to use this. Install a software called GPSSerial from Cydia. You should be able to use any GPS app from App Store except Google Maps default app. I use Sygic & Papago on my Ipod Touch 1G. In terms of GPS response and accuracy, it's at least as good as IPhone 3GS.

Since Ipod Touch 2G has Bluetooth, another possible way to use GPS is to use Bluetooth GPS receiver eg Holux. Use RoqyGPS app :

you don't need 3g for gps since its using satellite, though u need the maps installed inside

any gps modules that works without being jailbroken?

Again gps module u refer to is the app or 3rd party device?4g have it own gps installed. For offline map app there is one call omap but not that user friendly.

3rd party device, ipod touch 4 doesn't have any gps installed...
something small or maybe a thin casing gps where you don't need to jailbreak to use it?

Nope. I think now is only relying on a 3rd party device(I haven't tested it before).
