should allow the p800 to talk to it, and receive location details ( i assume you're familiar with GPS ).
Thus it would let us add map software to give us our precise location, useful for navigation and route planning.

It's a brilliant idea, that I agree. But the price on a GPS system is often very expensive. And then you pay for getting new maps etc.
I hope this will be a bit more cheap, because then I will be able to afford it.

WOW, I can't hardly wait. At this moment I am using my IPAQ H3970 together with the Fortuna Bluetooth GPS receiver. I have installed TomTom Navigator 2 and it is perfect.
I will definitely use my P800 more if two important conditions were met. A fantastic PIM application like Agenda Fusion/Pocket Informant and Route Navigation available for the P800.
