The Garmin GPS 10: One of a Kind Bluetooth Enabled GPS Device

The GPS 10 from Garmin is an add on box that will turn your PDA or Bluetooth ready cell phone into a GPS device. Compact, lightweight and waterproof the GPS 10 will mount inside or outside you vehicle and send GPS satellite signals to your Bluetooth wireless laptop or any other Bluetooth ready device. What this means is that the Bluetooth enabled GPS can work just about anywhere and deliver high quality maps and use navigation software to plot your route so you can focus on what to do when you get there.

This device has intuitive software that makes getting places easier than ever before. Just type in where you want to go and the navigation software kicks in to give you turn by turn directions to your locations. In addition it will use voice prompts so you can truly use it in a hands free mode. In addition to this the Garmin software provides you with points of interest along the way so that you can find a place to eat, a place to sleep, where to get gas and much more. This device makes trups a breeze and you never will get lost again.

It includes a magnetic mount and hook and loop fastener to mount so it installs easily in just about any vehicle. The battery is a rechargeable lithium ion battery provides up to tweleve hours of continuous use so that you can rest it assured it will not die when you need it most.

There is also a 12 volt adapter provided for easy and convenient recharging. The wireless portion of the Bluetooth enabled GPS device can transmit signals up to thirty feet so that you can move you device away from the Bluetooth enabled GPS unit and still get signal. It is the perfect way to set up a Bluetooth GPS system.

The beauty of this the Garmin GPS 10 is the different devices it works with and how easy it is to set up. The only down side to it is its cost. At a little over $200 it is an expensive, but worthwhile addition to the family.
