Bluetooth vs. Cf vs. SDIO

Jer4359 · 04-02-09, 10:02 PM

Hi,

I was searching for a GPS receiver for an X51V and I was curious to know which of bluetooth, cf, and sdio is the most appropriate. Bluetooth seem by far the most common (possibly the cheapest too), but will battery life ot the axim suffer? Are any of these 'stronger' receivers than others? Anything else that is important to know?

Thanks.

I thnk another thing you have ask yourself is are wanting to
carry 2 pieces of gear (rcvr+pda) to acqire gps.
I use the BT332 simply because it came with my 51v having said
that I also can use it with both my Nokia cell and HTC 7501 for gps
purposes.A cfio or sdio would make it more compact.

I have a CF-Version...and have just ordered a bluetooth one.
Reason :
- i like to have another CF card running in the car ( maybe with music ), the SD-slot is taken by the Garmin GPS card
- you can position the bluetooth anywhere in the car and still play with the Axim without loosing connection
- you do not need to psoition the axim in the sunlight on the dashboard in order to get reception
- you can quickly put the axim away if needed ( road block, unfriendly locals ect )
