Bluetooth GPS?? FOAK ...

    I currently use a combined PDA/GPS (Mitac Mio 168, badged as a Navman
    PiN) and it's been fine. Used as Sat-Nav with Tom Tom Navigator and as
    a 'proper' map-reader with Memory Map for when we're following off-road
    routes. I've got used to also using it as a PDA, Archery
    score-keeper/recorder, timer, contact library, verbal note-taker,
    calendar/organiser etc ... but it's getting old and a bit flaky now,
    with the power connector getting a tad weak.

    So, I've decided on something like a Dell Axim X51V PDA as replacement,
    with Bluetooth and Wifi capability .. but this doesn't have GPS antenna
    built-in, it has to work with an external GPS receiver/Antenna. I've
    never really used Bluetooth other than transferring the odd pic from
    camers phone to laptop.

    So does anyone have any recommendations for good Bluetooth GPS
    receiver? Are they all much the same, does price matter, can they be
    easily transferred from the PDA to, say, a laptop or smartphone. More
    interested in quality and the ability to be used outside the
    car/vehicle so needs either good internal battery life or replaceable
    battery capability.

    Cheers.

    I have a wayfinder gps bluetooth receiver that I use with my nokia N80
    (with tomtom). I paid 21 ?? for it on ebay incl. delivery. No replaceable
    battery but you can charge it with mains or in the car. I'm very happy with
    it.

    I'd go for the Holux M-241, it has logging capabilities built in. More
    reliable for tracing a route later. I was always losing my bluetooth
    connection to my phone resulting in broken logs.
