Hi ppl just wondering with all the more smarter ppl than me here.I am looking to buy a GPS reciever for my BlueAngel.
I am looking at this one.

HP iPAQ Bluetooth GPS Receiver
[FA256A]

at first glance i would say no cause its for a iPAQ, but it is bluetoth and a lot of different BT stuff work with BA's, So any help info ppl could give me would be great....
BTW great site love it.

The GPS branded as HP bla bla is an obsolete type with old SiRF II. chipset. It is slow and not very sensitive at all.

Better obtain http://www.expansys.com.au/product.asp?code=127067 it is more expensive (only a little bit) but much more reliable, stable, sensitive etc. I am using this GPS with my BlueAngel flawlessly.

Hi have the Globalsat BT 338(bluetooth) - it's very small, last for ages on the battery and very sensitive (Sirf III).

Probably the best around, maybe not the cheapest but definitely worth it.
