Hi,

I'm looking to buy one of those little Bluetooth enabled GPS receivers to go
with my mobile phone (SE W610i). I've got a budget of about 30-40 quid,
which going by the listings on eBay seems to be reasonable.
Anyone got any recomendations or makes/models that I should avoid?

I'm looking for cheap/cheerful (but reliable) rather than top of the range.

Thanks.

Looks like a very good contender! And below budget too!!
Anyone got any first-hand experience of this unit though?

Seems very sensitive, works reliably inside the house, I had it in my pocket
on the train from Swindon to London the other day & it never lost track. It
took a while (minutes) to lock when switched on on the way back - but then
it was a different place and time from when it was last on and moving at
125mph :-)

Lots of review data out there on the BT-338

The battery is a majoy plus for this receiver. My Royaltek runs out
after about 8h, which is too short. The good 17+ hours that the BT-338
delivers would be great. Looks like a bargain.
