iPhone GPS Hack

For those of us who forever love to tinker with stuff (I have a Nuvi 650 and just bought a 3GS iPhone), this link is about this:
Ever wish your iPod touch or older generation iPhone had GPS capability? Now it can by using a Bluetooth GPS module along with the roqyGPS app.
In April we saw a pretty creative way to add GPS to an iPod by using a homebrew accessory. The new app is a better solution because it utilizes the larger screen and more functional UI of the iPod touch. We’re glad to see this come along because we’d rather not upgrade to the iPhone 3G just to get GPS support. roqyGPS has a fairly long supported hardware list, which should make it relatively inexpensive to pick up a GPS module either on sale or second-hand.
We’ve got a video of the release candidate after the break. As always, we’d like to hear from anyone already using this so please leave your thoughts in the comments.
Thought some of us might be interested.
I forgot the URL; here it is.

I just got my iPhone, two days ago, and so haven't done this yet. Still doping out all the ins and outs of the phone.
Just thought other folks here might be interested in the link.
