This has to be one of the most awesome Instructables I’ve ever seen and a lot of thanks goes out to Sudija for sharing this with everybody.
I’m guessing that Sudija uses a motorbike as his main means of transportation and has a GPS device that doesn’t have Bluetooth capabilities. He’s come up with a really simple and ingenious way of modifying his TomTom to give it Bluetooth capability. Now he can cruise around on his motorbike and abide by all those life-saving helmet laws while still comfortably listening to his GPS directions.
You’re going to have to be at least a 4 on the ‘Handy-Scale’ for this one. The project involves taking apart the GPS, drilling a little hole and soldering a couple of wires in. But all in all it is a pretty simple project that can be performed on pretty much any GPS device that has a speaker and gives you audible navigational directions. With a Radio Shack non-Bluetooth cellular phone adaptor he was able to get everything working just fine.
Sudija also says that he saved himself about $300 by being able to have the cheaper GPS device and adding the Bluetooth capabilities himself!
You can find Sudija’s great Instructable all the way over at Instructables.com.
