question about bluetooth gps

When I saw some GPS units are bluetooth, I took that to mean you could
pair them with your bluetooth earpiece, and thus hear the turn-by-turn
instructions from your GPS in your earpiece.
Since many of the complaints about GPS is the inability to hear them
over road noise, I figured this was the logical answer.
But now I've heard it's set up to make it so you can hear your cell
phone conversation through your GPS speaker. What the hell would you
need to do that for? THAT'S not the problem! Besides, all cell phones
have speakerphones in them in the firs place.
Wouldn't it be way more practical to be able to hear your GPS through
your bluetooth earpiece, since that's a real-world problem?
I would bet that is what most GPS shoppers take the "bluetooth"
connotation to mean when considering buying one. With all their
technology, why would anyone think they wouldn't be capable of that?

What does this drivel have to do with electronics? Take it to a GPS
or cell phone group.
