Today Navicore revealed a new bluetooth GPS receiver, a device designed for providing GPS functionality for mobile bluetooth enabled devices such as phones, PDA’s, laptops, etc. Measured at 64 x 22 x 15mm and weighing just 30g Navicore claims this is the worlds smallest bluetooth GPS receiver. Into this little package they managed to fit 8 hours worth of battery life and a high quality SiRF Star III GPS receiver. The built-in battery can be charged easily by connecting the USB cable included in the package to a laptop, PC, or a cigarette lighter outlet.
Regarding Navicore’s “worlds smallest” claims; International GPS Dimensions Committee -which was on a fall break at the time- refrained from commenting on how the device ranked but they did point out that it was blow to their authority for Navicore to make this claim before consulting their expertise :)

I bought the device but I cannot connect it to my Nokia E65. For some reason it does not pair with the mobile. Does anyone knows why?
