The CF will do a good job draining your battery as well.
I have both a Bluetooth GPS and the CF card. I use the bluetooth device
in the car up against the front or rear window. The CF card will need an
antenna attachment to use in the car. (without it the CF will, in most
cars, not work well unless you have a convertable or a sun/moon roof
which is open). For hiking or for Outdoors GPS stuff the CF is nice to
have as one unit.
Remember an extra battery!
