SD GPS card
I am shopping around for an SD GPS card receiver. I want to know the best brand that I should be shopping for and the best deal I can find. Any ideas?

Just found the above one good review, but it looks very fragile.

itguycns, I noticed that you have an X30. If you get an SD GPS receiver, will you have enough internal memory left to store your maps?

Why not just get a Bluetooth GPS?

and, I really don't consider any of those places good for Axim accessories, except for SD cards, and eBay for batteries, IR keyboards,SmartPad2s, and used stuff like Axims themselves, cases, etc.

How about AximCases, BoxWave, JavoEdge, BargainPDA ?

I agree that the bluetooth solution is the way to go. I just took the plunge this evening as a matter of fact. I found Destinator mapping and route planning software for $79 on ebay, and a quite nice (BT-308) Bluetooth GPS receiver for $125, also on ebay. There is a vendor selling nice SDIO/GPS receivers on ebay for around $100, but you do need to access maps from a memory card (realistically) so the bluetooth receiver is just perfect!

Yea that is the solution I would go for as well. You might have a little less battery life with that but there is a way to fix that with a bigger battery.

If you have an sdio gps and need more memory there is no way to work around the fact that you no longer have an open expansion slot.

And Bluetooth gps receivers are looking a lot cheaper, especially if you already have maps. And the great thing about bluetooth gps is I use it on my bike, and I have my X30+Extended battery is a hard case mounted on my handle bar(I know its a little big but beautiful big detailed screen as well ) and the bluetooth gps receiver can hang on you back pack or belt so there is nothing sticking out of the axim that is fragile.
