Bluetooth GPS Receiver advice
on: March 28, 2010, 08:17:10 PM
Well, after updating the GPS software and maps on my PDA and my brother-in-laws while I was at it we discovered his bluetooth gps receiver has gone missing. So I've been given the task of finding him a new one, he'd like something small, although it will probably live in the glove box of one of his cars...

a quick skim of ebay turned up this:

which seems perfectly fine, and much cheaper than the 50eur+ models available around here. Any thoughts?

I have ordered one, basically the same deal, from a UK seller, higher price, lower shipping so it balances out, will report back when it arrives and I get a chance to test it

that's the one I got, the seller has several auctions with the same item, different titles, and different start prices, I opted for this buyitnow to not have to wait as long... 20gbp(including shipping) for a bluetooth GPS receiver is a pretty good deal... most here are 50eur+
