Alexander,

> Has anybody tried to use a Bluetooth GPS receiver?

as far as i know - no one :)

> What kind of service is it?

most likely Bluetooth GPS will provide Serial Port service. this way the
device
will be compatible with existing software (it usually works with serial
ports).

> Is there some free software available?

FreeBSD comes with Bluetooth stack - it does support Serial Port Profile.
i have no idea about free GPS software.

thanks,
max
