Compact Flash Receiver performance

[ngood94323]

I have Tomtom Navigator 5.21 running on an Acer N50 PDA. I am looking for a new gps receiver and I am thinking of buying a compact flash version which will then run of the PDA.
I am looking at 2 models:

GLOBALSAT BC307X COMPACT FLASH CF GPS RECEIVER - XTRAC
&
HAICOM 303E MULTI-MODE FOLDABLE CF GPS RECEIVER

Does anyone have any experiance of either of these receivers? are they any good with tomtom? do they update the map reguarly enough? or would I be better overall going for a bluetooth receiver?

Your advice/experiance will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Hi ngood94323.
I too have an Acer N50 and I use a Holux GPslim GR236 bluetooth reciever.
It works really well with the Acer and always keeps a good signal,
I can even stick it in my pocket or in the glove compartment once it's "locked on" and it still keeps a good signal. It runs for 10 hours on a full charge too.
I got mine here :-

Thanks for the advice.
It's my girlfriends PDA and she wants an 'all in one' soloution. I have a bluetooth receiver and it works fine on hers too.

cf is ok but blue is better really as there is no extra load on the battery if out walking round a town

The SysOnChip CF Memory GPS works well on my old iPaq, being a combined GPS receiver and memory card means it holds all the map data too

I have one bought off e bay about 2 years ago with a external aerial as well for about £35.

Works fine but I would seriously recommend making sure you get one with the external aerial facility.

Works fine in my old car, Saab, and new one, Skoda, but had big probs in Italy with a hire Peugeot 307 until I plugged in the external aerial and plonked it on the roof.

Seems some cars have metalised screens which taters the GPS signal.
