Is this a mistake, or could you really have two GPS devices available?

It's a shame the range of bluetooth is so limited. Differential GPS is very accurate if the data is processed properly. With two GPSs, the n810 could be an electronic tape measure or a device to help you find your car in a car park. How much of a killer app would that be?
Nokia is not an original manufacturer of GPS units as only manufacturers of GPS chips can be considered as original manufacturers of GPS units.
So a range of GPS devices available for use with Nokia 770/800/810 is in no way limited.
Any bluetooth GPS unit can be applied.
Don't expect Nokia to offer full range of GPS units.
Nokia stays for cell phones not GPS units or GPS technology.

Neverthless I have developed algorithm and posted request to Nokia maemo developers to introduce two GPSs operation in N810 and in other models to have better quality GPS data and better GPS signal received for processing to avoid and limit signal lost or no GPS fix problem.

If you are a developer and can write a code I can provide you with more details on how to implement that feature called 2 GPSs navigation operation.
