Congratulations on that iPod touch, 64 is a great space if you are gonna download a lot of tons of music and apps.....

Anyways on answering your question, that gps with the Bluetooth functionality I'm afraid it doesn't work with the iPod touch because itouch doesn't support that kind of Bluetooth capability.... It's only for stereo sound headphone(like wireless listening) and for speakers and peer to peer gaming. So itouch doesn't support a lot of Bluetooth function because apple limited the itouch.

you should read the iPod manual and it tells you what is compatible with the bluetooth on your iPod touch and what's not.

You welcome Johnson, I'm glad that I answered your question....

Well, what I could about that application on the store of Tom Tom, that yes! It's compatible with the itouch but you a car kit(which is available for sale on the apple store) which has a built-in gps receiver giving you a fully functional gps system on your iPod. I think the price is like a 100$ dollars on the apple store ofctge ton Tom car kit.....

But there is a better product which is coming soon to stores which gives you same ability of gps on your iPod.....
Keep your eye on this one:

I don't know when it's going to be released, but appears to be a GPS solution so many iPod touch users have been waiting for.
