burdell1 old hand Registered: 14/01/2002 Posts: 931 Loc: Minnetonka, MN	Is there any little speakers out there that would plug directly into a 3.5 mm jack? I just got a Bluetooth GPS, but it is very hard to hear the computerized voice......

There are scads of different ones out there, made for things like ipods and walkmans. Even a pair of desktop computer speakers will work. But remember that they all need power, because the little headphone jack is not amplified. _________________________ Tony Fabris

(in diameter, i mean) I was thinking that would be a perfect size....would necessarily have to be powered though? i thought they might make one that wasn't, but was really small....
