    Hello,

    A relative of mine with a Nokia B95 8Gb would like to invest in a
    separate bluetooth receiver due to the unsatisfactory performance of the
    built in GPS. This will be used for Tomtom Mobile 6, not the Nokia Maps
    application.

    Can anyone make a recommendation so I know where to start looking?
    Budget around £45-£50.

    I bought one of these:

    http://www.qfonic.com/navicore-perso...re-p-2001.html

    IMO, an unmissable bargain...

    It contains a GlobalSat BT-338 in OEM clothing.
    Sirf III V3.1.1, v. sensitive


    I kept the GPS gizmo and re-sold the software for a few quid.
    The GPS device is excellent. A little larger than average, but it has a good
    10 hours battery life. The battery is easily replaceable (just remove the
    battery cover and out it comes, like a mobile phone) and it can be recharged
    using an (older style) Nokia wall or car charger.

    I use a proporta solar-powered GPS receiver with bluetooth. The solar power
    doesn't keep it going indefinitely, but the battery lasts a lot longer than
    without the solar cell. It cost me about 70 pounds, but I'm afraid it might
    now have been discontinued. I am very pleased with this receiver that I use
    in combination with my imate Jam pocket PC.

    Regards,
    Philip.

    This kit includes a Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-3W
    Not sure how good it is but if you can get one of the £10 vouchers
    around for Expansys then it costs approx £16 + p&p

    Porporta have discontinued their unit, but you might like o have a look at
    this one. I haven't tried it but I'm tempted....

    Alternatively, there's this one which claims WAAS & EGNOS support:

    I went for the solar powered one in the end, recommended elsewhere in
    this thread. My uncle says it's bloody brilliant.
