I can second that--business is owned by a polish guy called Mauricy and he seems to know his stuff-I bought a real small unit that links up with any Windows Mobile PDA, Smartfone [ I think] or whatever and was not expensive--as the other poster says he's got lots of different models--only problem with mine, and probably all of the dam_n things is when I'm in any big city and I drive underneath an overpass, ringroad, superhighway or whatever and the little blighter can't see the sky--it takes a few mins to get it's brain back together and I've missed my turning--buggered. Great out in the 'upcountry' though.

Thats all well and good but what good is a GPS / Bluetooth reciever on its own ???

Without a display, route mapping, voice guidance its pretty useless to me.

I have no idea what your requirements are for GPS? Indeed a lot of questions and answers on this web site tend to assume a certain degree of assumptions and mind reading as the questioning is often open ended by those without much knowledge on the subjects.

To answer

>>what good is a GPS / Bluetooth reciever on its own ???

I might suggest using it with an optional PDA, computer or telephone with bluetooth and mapping software. With a little reading up this can be down very cheaply and for next to nothing if one already has the hardware in place.

Was just trying to point out that a price of 59+ shipping + taxes might be cheap, but the GPS reciever is just one small part, so saying it cannot be bettered in CM, well without those other parts its not a solution. Also the piecemeal solutions are often far secondary in features, user friendlyness etc..

I can tell you how NOT to do it. I am a cheap Charlie. I bought an eTrex Legend CX off eBay. I upgraded it to a one GIG memory card and paid Rotweiler for his maps. The maps had a lot of glitches and the screen on the eTrex is too small. I bought another Garmin off eBay, a Street Pilot 2610. It had even more glitches than the eTrex with the Rotweiler maps. The 2610 does have a lot of features and I really liked it. I finally had Gadget Trend install the ESRI map on the 2610 and everything works great. After all the aggravation and expense, I would have been better off to just have bought a unit from Gadget Trend and been done with it. I might add that at that time the ESRI map was 12,000 baht. Now it is 7,000 baht. If the Nuvi 200W had been available at that time, that's what I would have had. When all is said and done, I am VERY happy with my 2610 even though I went around the block several times to find that out.
