Bluetooth GPS

I'm wanting to run a PDA with a Bluetooth enabled GPS. I've had a look at the pocketfms and the pocketgps websites which provide a good deal of info. But my main concern is that a Bluetooth GPS such as Rikalines or Royalteks will have poor satellite reception due to the heating elements in the windscreen of the aircraft I fly. The windscreen is a multi lamintated windscreen with several heating elements incorporated into it. I could put the Bluetooth GPS aerial at the side of the cockpit where the glass/persex does not have the heater elements contained.

Has anyone tried any of these products together (using Bluetooth or Cables ?) say in a turboprop or bigger and what issues did you have.

Thanks
