Mobile phone + GPS module: 3 times wireless
Just a geek's observation that a GPS setup with a GPS module with Bluetooth and a mobile phone all in all encompasses 3 wireless links:
  • The GPS satellite communication (in the case of the Nokia LD-3W on up to 20 channels)
  • The Bluetooth communication between the phone and the module
  • The phone's communication with the mobile network; optional in this scenario, but needed for downloading of maps, POIs etc, as well as for uploading geotagged blog entries, photos etc
You might think there would be some interference here, but they are all on different frequencies.

I need to get a life...
