Proporta is selling the Solar Bluetooth GPS Receiver, a new gadget, is a unique device in that it doesn’t display data on its own screen; instead, it sends information to Bluetooth-enabled PDAs and smartphones.

The screen has been replaced with a solar panel that “trickle-charges” the battery in both direct and ambient light. A drained receiver can be fully charged in about four hours using the included car adapter. If users have a TomTom GO, that can be used to provide planning and multilingual vocal directions. The Solar Bluetooth costs $110.

The Proporta Solar Bluetooth GPS Receiver is a powerful in-car satellite navigation system that pinpoints your location precisely anywhere in the world, communicating wirelessly with your PDA/Smartphone or other mobile computer.

Combine with TomTom advanced mapping software for your region for clear, voice guided directions and route planning from your starting point to your destination.

Unlike rival systems the Proporta Solar Bluetooth GPS Receiver adds the convenience of solar charging to an already-powerful GPS system, so it’s ideal for walkers and cyclists as well as motorists.
