bluetooth gps tracker

I've been looking and i'm more confused now than ever before. I'm looking for a gps tracker with bluetooth so that if i'm out and want to use it with my axim x51v i can connect it up. however i want the logger so if i go out on a hike or mountainbike ride or something i can just use the logger. I have found plenty, but the reviews are soo far off the charts each way for every one i'm more confused now than when i started looking. if anyone has any suggestions for one that will work please let me know.


thanks much

I have a 51v with the Dell/Navteq/Bluetooth BT332 system on board
which works well but having said that it doesn't meet logging and other
odd requirements.
I have installed VisualGPSce on the 51v as well and it does all
I wanted including logging to mem/cards so that you can review
you moves and keeps stats,bonus is that it's free.
Try it here:
VisualGPSce
I also have it on my HTC 7501 as well.

i looked into that but really does not meet what i'm lookin for. I really do not want to take the axim with me and have it on for a bike ride, especially if it is a weekend camping thing or something. a logger would be a lot easier and more rugged.

Then buy Garmin Etrek or one of the other less expensive
units that creates waypoints and is popular with geocaching
crowds.

yeah but the question wasn't are they available, but which ones work. I've read too much on this one will and wont work with the x51v, i was looking for a bit more info than just buy one.
