How much space is in the extended battery back? Does anyone think it’s possible to use one with a regular battery and use the extra space to store a Bluetooth gps?.....maybe....?

There is about the same space as another standard battery. I can check later if you're interested in the actual size.
Do you have a BT GPS in mind?
I am sure if you were able to flatten out a GPS receiver (mine has 3 layers - battery, main board and receiver) it would have a chance of fitting. However, you'd have to wire it up to the Uni's battery instead of having it's own to stand a chance. And then you'd most probably want an on/off switch to save the battery.
Alternatively, you could try fixing this somewhere!

This looks Kwl....
I jus want it to be possible, But would'nt someone have to create a driver, or hack a driver from another device?
