I'm thinking of getting a bluetooth GPS receiver for my P900. Has anyone any experience with these? If so which is best?
Also what is the best software to use with it for SatNav & any other uses?

Cheers, Mik

I won't go away till I get some replies!

So does a P900 come under that category?

How about the Socket Communications Wireless Bluetooth GPS receiver (www.socketcom.com)? I'm using one with my P900 and it works pretty good. Too bad there's no GPS mapping software for P900. Anyway, you can pick one up from buy.com for $159.77. It's very compact and has a jack for an external antenna.

Thanks for that reply but what do u mean that there is no mapping s/w? Does this mean nothing for SatNav?

For now Wayfinder is the only solution if you want GPS into your P900. Download 5 days trial here.
