Will a bluetooth GPS receiver pick up a signal through plastic?
I will be going to Valencia in Spain in a few weeks, and I've got my PDA with Tomtom 6 with the Spanish map loaded.
I want to use it while walking around the city.
If I put the receiver in a hip case with a clear plastic window, would it still work?
yes it can still work as long as ur plastic case is not signal proof.

Yes as some manufacturers produce "covert" bluetooth GPS units designed to be mounted under the dashboard or plastic bumper of a car. Obviously by placing an object between a transmitter and a receiver, will reduce its efficiency slightly. If you are within a city, you would be better off placing it in the chest pocket of your jacket or in the top pocket of a daysack to get a higher vantage point for the GPS. This is to reduce "Canyoning" that can occur between tall buildings.

Yes, it'll work fine. When we were on holiday earlier this year, my husband carried his receiver in his backpack and we didn't have any problems.
