For FoxyTag the MIDP2 and CLDC requirements look to be covered, but there is 
no mention of JSR-82 (Java Bluetooth API) and the FAQ says only Bluetooth GPS 
is supported. This may give rise to the daft situation of having to use an 
external GPS unit despite an internal one being present.

amAze is supposed to work with internal GPS so there's a good chance of it 
working.

This is speculation from looking at the docs as I don't have a Freerunner to 
try it with...yet ;-)
