Which CF/SD GPS for x51v ???

Hello. I just bought new x51v and Im looking for a cheap GPS receiver for it - prefer CF/SD since I will be carrying axim a lot with me, or a BT gps that is small in size.
Also, the lower the price the better.
Anyone has any suggestion to what should I buy?

Thank you.

I've been thru all of this. I bought Microsoft Streets and Trips with Pocket Streets with the CF GPS and have had nothing but trouble (with the Axim X51V and WM5). The only GPS software I've found that has work reliably is Iguidance (I've tried Ostia, TomTom, and Pocket Streets). I finally went with with OnCourse bluetooth BT339 ($90) which has worked with all of the above. If you can afford it, go the Bluetooth route.

The Globalstat BT-338 comes with a nice case that you can attach to your belt. It's small enough to fit in your pocket as well. Not the cheapest though, but there are some other cheaper bluetooth models out there. I'd go with a bluetooth one since there seems to be more trouble with CF GPS with the x51v - some work, some don't.
