I even have such a BlueTooth mouse, ca. 3 years old.
It's working and those are surprisingly cheap.
But I'm not a fan of BlueTooth either and I'm even less a fan of adding external hardware.
For each trip, I reflect, whether to take my Microsoft Wedge mouse for example.
And I don't quite get it. What would be the costs of adding a GPS chip? € 20? Why not have it per se in mobile units > € 400?
I love, sitting in cafe and checking out the POIs in the neighborhood. Or booking my next stay. Or the Saturn or Media Markt next to me.
Missing GPS is no disaster, I usually have a smartphone with me anyway (for the moment, my favorite would be Lumia 920 if it's not on repair
)...
