Device: Oasis bluetooth GPS reciever
Not sure about the baudrates and such, I just pair it and manualy assign a COM port to it.

Software: TomTom 5 and 6, iGo 2006 and GPSDash (all working)



Uses Nokia battery's :P Great when you have an old phone lying around Has good stanby and in-use time.

- edit:

All went very smooth, no hickups no failures. Works like it was intended Once paired, just turn on bluetooth on Touch, and turn reciever on. The rest is automatic Software such as TomTom automaticaly turn on bluetooth when a non-default reciever is configured. Just start TomTom and turn reviever on.

Used this reciever for about 2,5 years now. Never let me down.

I use one Globalsat BT-338 with the HTC Touch nicely. Just pair it once and BINGO...

By the way I use Destinator 6.11 with Brazilian maps and GoogleMaps Mobile connected to the GPS.

I'm using a Globalsat BT-359 with iGO 2006.
Works fine, Position fix in about 1 minute (and sometime less). Bluetooth link easy to setup.

i use the NOKIA LD-3W ...works smoothly...

i suppose every BT GPS Receiver works with the Touch... when u buy one, maybe pay attention that it has a SIRF III Chip

What are you guys using to secure the touch to your car? I haven't found anything elf-specific.
