I bought a Qstarz receiver, not exactly the linked one though. It has been working great with my Hermes for more than a year now. I am afraid that the only one I used, so can't tell top 3. I guess you may buy a Tomtom branded receiver.

I use G-Sat BT359, and it works nicely. (Also battery recharging plug is same usb-mini power)

I use the navibe GB 735 bluetooth unit. It also has the same usb connection as my cell and since i don't have a car charger for the hermes and the gps does; I now have a car charger for me hermes too :D. I do have some issues when i'm in downtown chicago. Too many skyscrapers makes keeping a signal going and data transmitting to my software spotty; but, it still works well enough. The biggest pain was initial set up. If anyone cares; just go to external gps in settings --> connections and set program com port to none, then hardware com port to 5, then check the let windows automatically set gps in the last tab. In bluetooth settings, after you add the device, set an outgoing com port for it on com 5 by clicking the com tab and then clicking the device. And in your gps software, set the com port to 5. This should be it for the rest of your days----until you switch roms :p. I tried various other ways of getting a quick and reliable signal and this is the only one that worked.
Cheers.
