Recommend GPS Receiver For X30

Hi everyone. I've been reading a bunch of reviews on the different GPS receivers available and I can't make an informed decision because there are just too many choices. Can anyone help me narrow down the search for a good Bluetooth Gps receiver for the X30? It will mostly be a toy for driving around and the odd trip. Thanks.

I've been using a GlobalSat BT-350 for over a year now with great results.

I'm using a Globalsat 338 with my X30 - it's brilliant - small, lightweight, 17 hrs battery life, even auto-off when Bluetooth on the connected device is disabled. Comes with a small pouch you can clip around your belt, or just keep it in your glove box where it still works! It links fine to Anquet maps for walking and Tom Tom for fuss free car navigation - mine was from eBay £28 - a snip :-)

Gps

I have the bluetooth system that Dell sold for the 30.

It is terrific. Can't say enough about it. It really works great.

The only downside, if there is one, is that the verbal instructions are somewhat soft and sometimes hard to hear if there is a lot of road or traffic noise. The speaker is in the back, and even with the volume up all the way it is soft.

Other than that (no big deal), it works great. Let me know if you have any questions about this device.

I use a Holox BT-321 and have had no problems. Friends and family have bought them too and no-one has had any complaints.
