Bluetooth GPS to the Rescue

If you are the kind of person that travels a lot with your notebook computer then you are in luck. There are new GPS units on the market that can use Bluetooth technology to connect to your laptop and get you anywhere you need to go.

Units like the Garmin Mobile 10 Laptop GPS can connect directly to your Bluetooth enabled PC. Along with the appropriate software on DVD and the Bluetooth receiver, you can actually download all the maps you need and get turn-by-turn directions to your destination. You can also look up specific addresses and points of interest.

The Garmin model comes in at $129.99 online and it comes with a one year warranty. This is just another example of the Bluetooth features and computer products that continue to pop up day after day for laptop users.

This navigation system is considerably cheaper than other stand-alone models. So if you bring your laptop with you all the time when you travel anyway, this system can save you some money and get the job done just as well as more expensive GPS units.
