Which one do you use? What's your favorite mapping app?

i'm using iGO 2006 Plus (same as OnCourse Navigation) with a Freedom Mini and Holux 1200. also using a 4GB microSD that includes 1.8 GB of maps for all of the US (dated July 2007). both GPS devices get locks on 8 to 11 satellites within 10-20 seconds after activating iGO. i must say that the bluetooth GPS devices have better reception than the native GPS on my Kaiser and Trinity.

I use iGuidance 4.0 with a Royaltek RBT-1000 Bluetooth GPS receiver. I have a Kingston 4gb SDHC memory card for the maps.

I am actually debating on which Bluetooth GPS to buy b/w the Freedom Mini and Holux 1200. Can you tell me what you like/dislike about each one? My main objective is trying to get the smallest one possible, price is not an issue. I see that one is longer and the other fatter. How do they compare side by side and which do you think fits better in your pocket?

Well that is aGPS, which is not full GPS but assisted, and means Sprint will charge you $10 a month for it.
