Freedom mini GPS Bluetooth receiver
Edit: If you are interested in discussing the NEW, smaller Freedom Keychain GPS 2000, please see the following thread:

This current thread should be used to discuss the original Freedom Keychain GPS:
Freedom Input Ltd - Freedom Mini GPS
Just picked one of these up and thought it might be of interest to other members of the forum. As far as BT receivers go, its pretty standard other than the fact that its very small, made to be worn on your keychain. It has a miniUSB port for charging (comes with both a car charger and a miniUSB cable). The on/off switch is pretty tight so there is practically zero chance of you accidentally turning this thing on while it is in your pocket. I have it working just fine with TomTom Navigator 5 on my 6800. I've attached a few pics so that others can see the relative size (sorry they're a bit blurry, took them with the mogul). The receiver is about the same size as your car's remote control, just thicker. Of course, the best part about this receiver is its more than small enough to carry with you wherever you go so you can always have a GPS with you. Not as great as having a builtin GPS obviously, but this is the next best thing IMHO. If you want to purchase one, send an email to sales at freedominput dot com and ask them to send you a Paypal button as the company is based in the UK and they don't have the option for you to pay in US dollars yet on their website. Cost is $99.99 plus shipping.
