I have a new 500mhz ibook and a Garmin GPS reciever with Mac GPS pro. Will Bluetooth enable me to use my GPS wirelessly while in the field?

no, Garmin recievers do not use bluetooth, and a wireless serial to bluetooth adapter may not exist because of the speed differences, I dont now the speeds of the top of my head but i doubt it. I have an emap and I would love to use it with my iBook, does the software cost anything?

P.D.
