This why you are better off having diffent devices for speical tasks. I love the fact that I have a Bluetooth GPS ( 55$) that I can use with my Laptop, N800, or for maybe a friends PocketPC phone.

And a 3rd Party device can work better the full brown GPS's
I have to agree a separate BT GPS works best with Nokia Internet Tablets... let's face it, I don't need a GPS fix when I'm sitting on my couch, but when I'm out in the car I can use the GPS that lives in the glove compartment. Or if I need a GPS when out walking I can drop one in my pocket. Separate GPS hardware far out performs devices which have GPS functionality tacked on.
