Has anyone tried this? My understanding that Bluetooth on the iPad only supports limited profiles (not serial as use by most BT GPS devices for example) so I wonder how this works.

Without Jailbreaking, you can only pair and use BT headphones and keyboards with the iPad
There is a much cheaper Bluetooth GPS on Amazon. Amazon.com: iBlue737A+: i-Blue 737A+ Bluetooth GPS Receiver (66 ch, AGPS, Auto On/Off, WAAS): Electronics $62, sold by Amazon and eligible for Prime/free shipping. Since it's sold direct by Amazon you have the excellent Amazon return policy to protect you if you're not happy with it for any reason. The GNS is 3rd party, so you're dependent on their return policy - which is unlikely to be as generous as Amazon's.
Craig...Is your iPad WiFi only or 3G? Did you need any software to make it work or does it just connect just like any other Bluetooth device and is automatically picked up by GPS apps?

I too would like to know this, after reading amazon reviews apparently it is wifi only
