There's also the Pharos iGPS-500 (MS branded available with S&T 2k7, or separately as Pharos). It is necessary to buy the Pharos BT dock for BT functionality though.

The Wintec WBT-100 is not based on the SirfIII chipset. It is based on uNav + iTrax 3rd generation chipset according to the Wintec web site.

I think the Pharos BT dock costs about $80 in addition to the cost of the gps receiver. It would almost seem better to just buy an additional bluetooth gps receiver instead of buying just the dock.

Unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question off the top of my head. You can always just buy an inexpensive USB bluetooth adapter and then use any bluetooth gps with any computer that supports the adapter.
