I'm on the prowl for a right-priced BT serial adapter, because I think it'll work just fine.

MM asks for a path to the serial device for the TNC. Right now, I'm using /dev/ttyUSB0. Substitute whatever device the BT serial adapter wants to be called, and you'd be in business.

With the N810, this would be a great idea since you could put the N810 up on the dash to get a clear satellite view, while hiding the radio and tracker somewhere else.

With an N800 and a BT GPS, that's not such a big deal, but it'd still be nice to be able to use the N800 without being completely tethered.
