I looked that up, and found that the Mobile Crossing GPS receiver goes
for $199, or $295 for the PalmOS edition. I see other Bluetooth GPS
receivers for $75, that claim longer battery life (20 hours vs Mobile
Crossing's 8 hours).

What's different about the Mobile Crossing that makes it worth the
extra cost?
