The very best GPS BT receiver

Hello together,
I'm searching for the "egg-laying wool-milk-sow" (translated direct from German means "all singing and dancing") GPS BT receiver for my MDA VarioII. It should have the following features:
minimum SiRF-III Chipset
TMC receiver included
long battery durability
Static navigation possible
BT connection
"Navigon" compatible
I want to use it both for traffic navigation and by foot.
Has anyone a good hint?
Has anyone experience with the "GNS 5843"
Greetings Pudl

Mate i use the Holux GPSlim 236. Sirf iii, static nav option, good battery life and its good value. I use it with Tomtom and oziexplorer. Paired with a JASJAM its a great setup.

Holux GPSlim 240

The two Holux receiver sound very good, but the both don't have a TCM receiver. Do you know and BT GPS receiver with TCM?
Greetings Pudl

Ive got a HOLOX BT-321.....worth a look?

What's TCM

Sorry, I ment TMC. This means "traffic message channel". Over this channel you can receive the latest traffic news in europe. So you can see the actual traffic on the streets where you want to drive.
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traffic_Message_Channel

And me... my first so called BT GPS device was a pile of crap... but since getting the Holox last year I've been a happy chap sat naving everywhere
Well recommended! look on ebay for one

You should look at http://www.pocketgpsworld.com it has all sorts of reviews and GPS forums

I use the Nokia LD-3W which is also available in the T-Mobile shop. I just bought from eBay for half the price.
Apart from TMC it has all the features. And considering the quality of traffic messages in Germany I don't miss the TMC. It works perfectly with MN6, VisualGPSce, GPSTuner and so forth. And it has a removable battery - a fact worth considering...

GPS on XDA II with BTGPS74R

I have a BTGPS74R (aka Holox BT-321). It uses up to 32 satellites and works well with TomTom 6 on my XDA II. The only annoying aspect is that I have to use the MS BT stack with my Blue Ant BT earpiece and the Broadcom BT stack with TomTom.
One day I might be able to use both simultaneously ... if someone is already doing this, I'd love to know how.
Enjoy!

The best low-cost receiver we've tested lately is the new little Qstarz S1000 datalogger / Bluetooth GPS..
See:

Really nice low power 32 channel chipset with an integrated logger .. plus some nice Google Earth utilities to plot the datalogger data..

I have used the GNS 5843 and it is very good ,especially for tmc . I used it in combination with Navigon on my trinity P3600. By the way I get more Tmc reports on P3600/ Gns 5843 than on my Navigon Ts7000!!! ........It is even better than my built in Volkswagen Navi!!!
On foot I use my P3600 without Gns 5843 as I do not need the Tmc.

I have the Holux GPSlim 240 and it worked great with my Wizard. It is incredibly small - the size of a Bic lighter roughly.

Hello
What do you want to do with the GPS receiver. Do need it for car navigation for cycle or for walking.
I have an I-Blue 747 and I use is for car and walking navigation and I am very happy with it.
When you understand German you should look to the forum from http://forum.pocketnavigation.de/index.php
There you find a lot of discussions about GPS receiver.
Greetings Pudl

I use a Navicore's Personal 2007 GPS - it is a rebadged version of Holux 240 mentioned above and half the price of the Holux version

i use a Holux M1000B
super sensitive
extremely accurate

GPS?

Hello Trinity forum,
iam intedning to buy a Trinity P3600, as i see on the phone spec., it does have a built-in GPS module.
however the WM6 and WM6.1 Roms posted in this forum doesnt have any indication to support it, am I right?
another question: from your experience, do you recommand it? the spec. seems to be ok, fast CPU, big ram, GPS, UMTS HSDPA. iam excited to have one!
Regards
P.S.: for now i am using the HTC Prophet

No need to panic, GPS is all working and fine, I've used many ROM's 6 and 6.1, GPS works fine in them all.

Unless you really think you need a hardware keyboard, I would HIGHLY recommend this phone. It's small enough to fit in the pocket, but PACKED with features. I use TomTom software for the GPS and it works GREAT! I also have a TomTom Rider for my motorcycle, and they both work almost identically.
For a FREE alternative to TomTom software, you can always download the FREE Microsoft Live Search software. It has GPS traffic directions in it. Not quite as easy to use as TomTom, but Free... It also includes free traffic conditions and Satellite Maps. You can see your house on your phone.
PS: Welcome to the club.
Microsoft Live Search Software: wls.live.com from your mobile phone.

Thank you guys....

I think that touche cruise is much a better option right now than trinity.
It has more ram, better gps chip and official wm6 support

I hope the Polaris does not have the same problems as the Tytn2.
My Tytn2 feels extremely slow compared to the P3600.
Tried a lot of ROMs but I prefer my P3600.

Right...
Trinity was the best 1 year ago.
Today the HTC Touch Cruise (Polaris) is a better solution.
More RAM/ROM
A-GPS support
Better Touch Screen
Radio FM.
Official WM6.

Moving tomtom

I currently have a touch HD. I'm planning on upgrading to a desire. If I did would I be able to transfer the Tom Tom files from my HD to the desire, and have Tom Tom satnav on the desire?

No. Currently, tomtom doesn't have an android version.

Is there a good sat nave out for android? If so how much does it cost?

copilot live is the best, far better than winmo tomtom imo, it starts at about £25-30

Garmin Mobile™ XT

It works well with htc hd mini, for me personally garmin interesting because, from my experience the best and most topical maps Balkans, for example: Adria Route

where can i download garmin apps for my hd mini?

downparadise

yes, its very useful.
this is the main reason i bought HTC HD mini...
