Tomtom GPS 720 has very good bluetooth functionality and its very clear. I'd say its the best one in the market.

well i won the global sat last night on ebay for a hair less than the OCN. The ocn wont work with Sirf 3 and everything I have heard about the sirf 3 has been good.
Not sure what to think

Congratulations on the purchase. Almost no software uses the SIRF protocol, so it's not important that the receiver have that functionality. 99% use NMEA, which both OCN and GS support by default.

I love the Holux m1200. I get fixes in seconds with the gps in my pocket! That lets me consult the gps quickly and easily when I'm walking around.

Bluetooth GPS antenna for x50V
I have been using the GlobalSat BC337 CompacFlash GPS antenna with my x50V with mixed reviews. I would like to switch to a bluetooth antenna but with all the variety out there I don't know where to start. Can some one recommned a proven and working Bluetooth GPS antenna for my x50V (WM2003E) running TomTom 6.

Icon14 X50 with Garmin Mobile XT, Tom TOm 6, Destinator7
Well, I'm using Holux M-1000 and its been great!
Veryyyyy long lasting battery's life, within 35 secs (cold start) to capture 9 satellites, and every GPS program were tested on my X50 without any problem.

No need to buy a GPS.

Garmin and TomTom are good brands for GPS.
