I did a quick search and found some people sporadically talking about
Bluetooth GPS units back in 2003 --- but only for navigation.  While I
intend to use my bluetooth GPS for navigation, I intend to use it
primarily with my Treo 650 in that role.

But ... since there are long patches of time where I'm not mobile, I
was wondering if anyone had looked at using a Bluetooth GPS for
timekeeping.  Has anyone also ever had an ntp server sometimes use a
GPS and othertimes use other servers ... depending on the availability
of the GPS?

Dave.
