the bluetooth GPS can't be used with iPhone so far. btw, there's a device that can do it, and it's connected to the iPhone via wifi or dock connector (i forgot which one is). i've seen the video before. it's a real GPS device, not only by triangulating cell towers or picking wifi beacon.

simply put, u can't pair your bluetooth GPS receiver with the iPhone.

mmm...btw one thing for sure, these things still haven't hit the market. but at least it exists, and it's working (at least the locoGPS module).

if you going to put it that way ... then i have to say GPS do exist for iphone .. but is it available to public? probably now..

ok ok u r right.
i just wanna say that it exists. so it does exist. and so i don't see it to be wrong. and i already wrote bout the unavailability of the module in market as for now, read here:

if that way, then we can have camera "flash" even ......and whole lot of mod

ok it's an addon device. but i have one question, isn't the bluetooth GPS module also an addon device?
maybe u wonder why i don't use the word "mod" as per what u suggest. it's because it has nothing to do with modification on the iPhone itself. it's only a software, plus an addon device which is plugged to the dock. so theoretically it's an addon, and it's just similar with any GPS module in the market,only differs in how it interacts with the phone.

btw i'm not saying that the usage of the term "mod" is totally wrong. only that i find the word "addon device" to be more appropriate. ok ok if u said i'm wrong, i'm cool with that so don't worry. so if it's a mod, then the existing bluetooth GPS modules available in the market are also supposedly called as mods too (depending on the way it's defined, no matter how it is). so even the iPhone GPS module is still called as a mod, i don't see it to be wrong in the whole picture as it is just the same.

i'm just trying to share some infos here. that's all.
