I'm pretty happy with my BT - when I have had problems I think they are usually related to my general lack of understanding of managing BT.
Still - I too would like to know of other options

I have used an Ipaq 1940 with TT3 & TTBT receiver for over a year and have found it to work very well.

Unfortunately over a period of a few days my BT receiver went up in smoke, in the car cradle, and I managed to break the screen on my Ipaq so I bought a TTGo which I am very happy with.

But to return to the main point I had no real problems with the 1940 & BT and with the postcode tool, I know this has gone now, I found this to be an excellent system.

I think a lot of the BT problems were with the 2210

I used the Tom TOM receiver, came bundled with the 1940 and TT3.

I have also got a Polstar Bluetooth GPS from ebay, the one there has been a lot of discussion about and this also seems to work when I test it, but I have never used this is anger.

Houly,

I too have a 1940 with Bluetooth, working fine for about a year.

I don't think you have any other option with a 1940 ...

1) No CF slot, so cannot use CF BT cards

2) Most SD BT cards don't come with memory, so where to put maps ?

3) Serial (wired) not an option as sync port not a serial connection ?

I use a fortuna clip-on, from expansys & have had no problems, other than initial setup, where coms port shifted from COM8 to COM5 (TomTom gps responsible, so uninstalled once & OK)

I've always found my 1940 bluetooth to work fine with my gps unit.
