"With the TomTom GPS iPhone module’s future in serious doubt, it seemed like the beautifully huge multi-touch screen in the iPhone would never see its full glory as a GPS receiver. Lo and behold, partfoundry has taken up the task of bringing a legit iPhone GPS plug-in module to market. We’re hearing that a February 2008 launch in in the cards - just in time for the iPhone SDK. The partfoundry GPS module is set to deliver 16 channels of satellite positioning and will work with any GPS navigational software that you choose."

Hi Boba,

OK i don't get it the iPhone has bluetooth so why not just use a Bluetooth GPS receiver surely the biggest problem to over come is getting the software t run on it.

Because iPhone's Bluetooth capabilities are just about NONE. It only works with Bluetooth headsets and that's it. Once again, crap phone...
