GPS in in freerunner is made by u-blox, antaris 4 I beleive. A bit less
sensitive than Sirf III or u-blox LEA-5H (which is excellent) but still
a very good GPS receiver. I think you won't need a data logger with
Freerunner in your pocket.
As for GPS receiver over bluetooth, it's perfectly doable without much
programming work involved I would think. It won't be supported
out-of-the box though.

Hello all (especially the GPS-specialists)!
Actually I am considering to buy an external GPS-mouse (bluetooth +
datalogger) for geotagging, tracking and navigation purposes
(standalone and with actual handy-software).
Of course I am waiting for the Freerunner, too and the question
occured if there is really a need for such an external device when
using the Freerunner.
I am hoping for a reliable battery-life of the Freerunner so - as far
as I can see - another important point is the quality/accuracy of the
GPS.
Are there any major differences between the ATR0635 (used in
Freerunner, correct?) and an Adopt MTK chipset (based on
test-information similar to a SIRF III - i.e. used in
http://www.qstarz.com/Products/GPS%20Products/BT-Q1200-S.htm).
I compared some chipset-specifications but don't understand the
important information in detail...
I found further information how to use the GPS-information from
Neo/Freerunner via Bluetooth on a laptop. Will it be possible to use
the Freerunner as external GPS-device via bluetooth with a Nokia N73
also (perhaps with following the description under "Bluetooth GPS
relay"?)? No flames, please - only in case of emergency. ;-)
Any hints would be great, thanks!
Jens
