A1-810 Bluetooth GPS?

I have just ordered an A1-810 tablet based on it's great specifications, but I have downloaded the manual and I am a little concerned/confused about this statement:

 

Connecting a Bluetooth device
Only A2DP stereo headsets (playback  only, no microphone) are supported.
Please check for updates to the tablet's software which may add support for additional Bluetooth devices.

 

Am I mis-understading this as it implies you cannot connect other bluetooth devices like a GPS receiver? 

Can anyone confirm if they have successfully connected an external bluetooth GPS to the A1-810?

 

Thanks.

    Not having an A1 cannot be sure but my other Android tabs require additional software to recognise other BT devices. Do you mean it does not have GPS built in ?

    Thanks for the response. The A1-810 has built in GPS, but from previous experience with other tablets this is not reliable enough. With my previous (now bricked) tablet, I used the 'Bluetooth GPS' app from google play to connect to an external GPS. I know that until I install and try it this app may or may not work on the A1, but I was just concerned that the manual implies very limited use of bluetooth devices, and wondered if anyone had connected any bluetooth devices with the A1?
