GPS Smartphone accessory
If using the smartphone as a GPS, is there a way to attach the phone to the dash..or window? Does one use bluetooth for the GPS function?

There are a bazillion attach-your-smartphone-to-your-dash accessories available. Go to any mall and check out one of the kiosks where they sell smartphone cases, etc. Or try a Radio Shack store.
Bluetooth has nothing to do with GPS. Bluetooth is a system for transmitting data between two devices, such as music to the in-dash entertainment system, or your mouse and your laptop, or sound between your hands-free ear-dongle and your phone. Bluetooth might be useful for transmitting your location between your phone and a larger display built into the car, but all the cars I am familiar with that HAVE such a display already have their own GPS built in, and don't need the smartphone.
