Bluetooth GPS Receiver Advice

[yan_kadis]

Dear Forum,

Just bought a Globalsat BC337 Compact Flash receiver card for my Axim x51v to use with my TT Nav 5.21 software. However, I am sending it straight back as it does not work. Neither does any other CF card work with a WM5 device and TT software.

Any of you out there thinking of purchasing a CF card to use with your WM5 mobile device and TT 5 then DON’T – IT WILL NOT WORK!! Look around at all the forums (I should have done so before I bought the damm thing!!), you will save yourselves hours of frustration!! None of the suggested fixes work either.

I am now going along the Bluetooth route instead, so to save myself the traumas of previous experiences, I wanted to get some opinions first. I am looking at the following:

Holux GPSlim 236
TomTom Mark II
Globalsat BT 338

I want to be able to use my sat nav to navigate around country walks and in the city too whilst keeping the receiver in my pocket\bag. I also want to have the option of keeping the receiver in my glove box whilst using sat nav in my car. Battery life is also important (The previous CF card drained my pda after 1hr!!)

Any views on any of the 3 devices above are much appreciated
