T&T: Bluetooth Solar GPS

[Peter Bennett]

There's a review of it at http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/SolarBTGPS.php

One thing that is mentioned is that the solar panel only delivers
about 1/3 of the receiver's power requirements on a good day - the
rest has to come from an internal rechargeable lithium cell. This
makes it "solar assisted", rather than "solar powered", in my opinion.
