GPS, Bluetooth: Mini Bluetooth solar-powered GPS

If you use your PDA for navigation this Mini Bluetooth solar-powered GPS is very good way to save our ressources.

The advantage of a solar Bluetooth GPS is power consumption. Note that these models are solar-assisted. They can't run solely with the sun's energy, but the solar panel assists the battery, prolonging the battery's life by up to 2x. It is also possible to recharge the GPS by leaving in direct sunlight, which is quite convenient when hiking.

Since our first review, Ftech has released two other models: the first one had a better GPS receiver chip with 20 channels (vs. 8), with improved the time to first fix. The second one (this photo) is a smaller version with improved solar efficiency.
