What is/Is there a gps with bluetooth capabilities that can be attached to the auxillary port of a vehicle?

Preferably portable. I have researched many gps but I can't seem to find one. I want a cheaper way than a factory installed, in-dash gps/bluetooth|||Maybe.





By Auxillary Port I assume you men the thing that used to be called the Cigarette Lighter - the usual power outlet on a car.





And by bluetooth capability, I assume you mean that, instead of using the built-in speaker on the GPS, you want the directions to go to a bluetooth headset. Yes, this is available on several makes.





Many makers also allow your GPS to interface with your mobile phone through bluetooth, which allows them to get real-time updates (traffic reports, road closures).





If you want to be able to send spoken instructions to the GPS through your bluetooth headset, we`re talking a different beast, however. Despite the TV commercials, this kind of speech-recognition interface is pretty buggy. Your request to GO TO HOME DEPOT ends up being interpreted as GO HOME, for example.
