Blue Tooth GPS Device

[The PIT]

Well the one I've got seems to be going to the GPS in the sky. Just get continous invalid gps single.
Whats a good replacement.

I have this one:

It does a nice job of keeping a signal, but a cold start (e.g. after it has been powered down for a long time) indoors can take some time.

Downsides:
USB cable for charging/communication is not a standard one (and not included)
Blinking light when lock (IMO should have been blinking without lock, fixed when locked)

Upsides:
Sirf III
VERY small
car-plug + AC adapter included
serial connection is available as an option (supported by some Nikon digital cameras)
diagnostic software for various OS (including PocketPC)

I'm using TomTom's MKII BT GPS reciever and works really well

I have another Holux GPSlim. Not sure what model (?256) but it is the size of an AA battery. It has the same pros and cons as listed above except that it uses a standard mini-usb cable that allows the use of a GPS mouse and charging from your PC. I paid £30 inc. delivery from imported via ebay.

Well, the connector is a standard one, but I don't think the electrical specifications are within usb spec (the optional cable has a thicker portion - could be just to minimize electrical interference, but I don't dare to try it with a regular cable).

mine works fine with a regular cable.
