Default Bluetooth GPS receivers

Where is the best place to buy them? Which gives the best price/performance?

This is for running TomTom on a Nokia N70

I just bought a SS16 off ebay which is supposed to link directly to Nokias and Tomtom5. I have yet to receive my 1gb memory card so i have not tried it yet - Will try and remember to let you know if it is OK.

I bought the Holux GPSSlim236 from http://www.navpal.co.uk/ - very highly recommended - it even gets a fix when it's in the glovebox underneath all the passenger airbag gubbins.

I paid 50quid for a Fuzion GPS receiver from ebay in the summer, and it works great with Tomtom5 on my mobile, however it has flashing blue and red LED's which cant be turned off so its annoying for night use.

The other problem is you cant charge it and use it at the same time (does last 10hrs on one charger tho), but infact I would recommend you avoid this model!

Otherwise no problems with it.
