GPS Receiver - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

All,
I am in the market for a GPS receiver for my T-Mobile MDAIII and have narrowed it down to two devices the Holux GPSlim 236 and GlobalSat BT338. Can anyone recommend which one I should go for?
Also I have a Bluetooth headset kit that I would like to use to receive calls while the MDA is using TOM TOM 5 with the GPS receiver is this possible?
Thanks in advance

I have an Hollux 230, and I have had absolutely no problems with it (that are because of the unit, and not because of something else).

I too am in the market for a bluetooth GPS and have the very same choice to make. I have seen a guy on ebay from taiwan selling the Holux one for 99 euros + 20 euros shipping which works out about 82 pounds. I presume that your going to use it as sat nav in car(as opposed to the courtyside), if so, then what PDA mount do you have/are you going to get??
To answer your question about using the gps and the headset at the same time. I did read on these forums that if you upgrade to WM5 then the new bluetooth stack allows you to do this. I'm not sure if you can under Wm2003.
Thanks

What is very cost effective GPS device

i got my XDA II & i would like to put a gps system in it, i live in the UAE where maps are hardly availble in detailes, i also have a very limited budget on the gps system since i got nearly all the mony on my xda II & it Mem card & BT tools, could someone tell me a good brand that cheap but works well :?
Get a Bluetooth GPS, GlobalSat often appear on eBay relativeley cheaply.

XDAII ROM Upgrade - also Bluetooth Headsets ?

When I boot up my O2 XDA II, I see this:
R 1.17.0
G 1337.28
D 1.72.00 WWE
I am not sure what those mean, but I recently purchased an AnyCom BSH-100 headset. Does not work at all. I installed a bluetooth update on this forum for the XDAIIi, which completely killed all my sound altogether for everything. I am going to do a hard reset, but anyone have any ideas? I am sure it's just a software/firmware issue to get this headset to work... HALP !
Also, I purchased the O2 XDA II on Ebay, it evidently was locked but this website helped me figure out how to unlock it. Since then I have been very reticent about making any further drastic upgrades. Should I upgrade the phone to higher numbers than the above and what would that get me? Would it help with the GPRS reception or the bluetooth for the headset?

XDA EXEC with a Road angel GPS?

Can this be done and if so what would I need?
I have a Roadangel (older black version) and wondered if it could be used with my EXEC when it comes on tueday :lol: as a GPS receiver?
If I'm honest I want GPS (tom tom etc) the cheapest way possible. :roll:
I did this with my Jornada 928, and it worked well. Although at the end the Road Angel Classic was taking very long to ever get a satellite fix - like 50-miles around the M25 motorway! Have since got the Origin b2, but decided not to buy the extra £50 cradle for GPS output.
For the o2 Exec/Universal you'll need a serial to mini-USB cable - think I saw one on o2's web-site - but might also need a converter at the serial end to match the RA's output pins/connector. If you're stuck, PM me and I'll see if I can find the RA's pin-out diagram.
O2 Mini Exec S + Road Angel Connection
HI there, I have an O2 miniExec S and New Road Angel, would it be possible to use New Road Angel as GPS receiver for Tom tom on my O2 mini? And would I still be able to use the camera detection function simultaneously during the connection with o2 mini exec?
Many thanks

Polish gps coverage ??

Am driving from England (skegness) to Poland (katowice) for the new year , what's the best idiot proof gps mapping software package to buy + gps receiver for that part of the world ?, to be used on the mda pro ?
After reading this forum it seems these 2 are the best:
Leadtek GPS 9553X Bluetooth GPS Receiver
and
Globalsat BT338
Thanks in advance.
probably the most popular sofware in Poland is automapa http://www.automapa.com.pl/

i-Tech Multipoint

Hi
Anyone heard any news on this little baby? http://www.expansys-kr.com/p.aspx?i=142892&stack=technical&action=open#technical
It says multipoint but does it mean that the Mike will work with more than 1 device or just the headphones?
I have also asked expansys in Korea. I'll update if I get a response.
Cheers.
