What GPS do you use???

[z24's rule]

I see all the time people asking how to get GPS on there phone but never see people ask what one do you use for your 6800.

I went looking and wow

Just so many and they go from $80-$250

If you wanted one for you car well then I would know

So please share what one you use for your pocket PC

The only GPS device I have is a Holux GPSlim240 bluetooth usb device. It's about the size of a pack of gum, very simple, and works with my computer, 6700, and 6800.

I also have a Holux but mine is a Holux GPSlim 236 and a QSTARZ BT-Q816 both were both from www.buygpsnow.com, and they both work about the same but the QSTARZ BT-Q816 takes a lot longer the acquire a signal at cold start. I would recommend a Holux unit, and www.buygpsnow.com seems to have the best price and I have had no problems with them. I also use TomTom6 and its ok but doesn't have enough POIs for me so I use Googlemaps and Livesearch

If you don't already have a GPS bluetooth receiver, I'd seriously look at the Garmin Mobile 10 package available at buygpsnow for $119.95. It includes the Garmin software and SiRFstarIII receiver. I have the TomTom and a Holux236 for my 6800 and a Garmin 2820, but still think I'll get this to play with.

is it possible to use a gps unit bought for a car in conjunction with my Touch?

I don't know what interfaces the Touch has. Try asking in their forum. I'm assuming that it has bluetooth, so if the car unit has bluetooth, it might work. Otherwise, I can't think of any common way for the two to communicate.

i use globalsat 359 .. turns off by itself if not connected to save power.

thanks for the feedback everyone, that's kinda what i recall seeing people post in other past threads. personally i'm waiting to see how happy i am with our supposed "gps" update before spending any more...

The Garmin 2820 has bluetooth, but only for handling calls to/from the phone through the GPS unit. I'm not aware of a stand-alone GPS unit that will send location data to another device.

I got a Nokia LD-1W from Fry's for around $30 on clearance it works fantastic. My friend has a holux he spent almost $100 and it may start up a few seconds quicker but certainly not worth the extra cash. Since it uses a standard nokia tip i didnt even have to buy a new iTip for it since I already had one. If you can find one of these on the cheap i would grab it in a heartbeat.
