ePBT
Add Bluetooth to your Garmin eTrex!
Checkout GPSdash for PocketPC! It inputs NMEA and produces a great dashboard of information!
Note: We also have another version with our round-4pin plug 
--- please go to here: pPBT (p-type Power + BlueTooth)
With Bluetooth your eTrex transmits position data to all other Bluetooth devices in the area; laptops, PDA's, phones, cameras, data recorders - wirelessly!
Whats more, now you can use PDA's that don't have a serial port! Like my favorite one, my iPAQ 1945. Just like laptops, "they" are making 'em without serial ports!
Our ePBT plugs into any standard cigarette lighter socket. It not only powers the Bluetooth transmitter/receiver and related intelligent control hardware but also supplies 3.3V power to your eTrex. So it not only works great, it works without using any batteries and so will continue working on long trips!
I discovered today (7/15/04) how awesome cool Bluetooth is. Last night I found GPSDash (shareware), downloaded it, sync-ed it into my iPAQ 1945 from my laptop, set my Garmin geko to demo mode, start up GPSDash, noticed my iPaq Bluetooth setup, Serial Port, Outbound COM Port: 5, Inbound COM Port: 8, which I don't understand, so I tried both in GPSDash and COM 5 worked! Just start GPSDash, select the "GPS" tab, then "Configure", then select COM5, OK, then "GPS" again, and now "Plain Connect" and it will startup a Bluetooth Browser which will list "BT - GPS". It may take a few seconds to be discovered. Select it and see the LED on the ePBT stop flashing and go solid which means you're connected - wirelessly. The NMEA data should be flowing in and you can watch it by selecting the "Data" tab. Very cool. Oh, don't forget to set your GPS "Interface" to "NMEA-out" (4800 baud). This is actually all a lot easier than it sounds... and most of this need be done but once.
This was almost as much fun as piloting the red jet a couple of weeks ago - but that's another story.
