Hi people.

I guess this sort of question is asked a lot but i would really appriciate the advice.

Basically i'm on a bit of a budget (~£50) to buy a new bluetooth gps unit.

I'm used to as i currently have a Holux 210 wired receiver and am happy with its performance.

The ones i have seen around for approx the price are either a
SILVERSHIELD FUZION Bluetooth GPS Receiver or a
SILVERSHIELD 16 Bluetooth GPS Receiver

or

someone has offered me a Holux gr-230 bluetooth gps receiver for £55 2nd hand.

the battery life on the holux seems to be only about 8 hours. and only has 12 channels which seems to be the same as the FUZION.

so basically my question is.. what noticable differences will i see between the holux 230 and the silvershields and my current holux210 and also are these silvershield ones any good? i cant find anything about them on the internet so seem to me like a "put a sticker on a generic gps and call it a random name like silvershield" kind of affair.. but i guess i could (and usually am) wrong.

appriciate any advice on the matter as i guess i'm still a bit of a newbie when it comes down to this.

sorry for replying to own post but i cant find the edit post button..

also found something called BT-77 Bluetooth GPS which i saw linked on one of the google ad's above for £39.14
they claim "The World's Best 16 Channel Bluetooth GPS Receiver !!"

i kind of doubt that for 40quid but......
