I have recently changed from a Toshiba E800 and a Wired Haicom 204E GPS receiver to a Dell X50v. I am now in a quandary as what to replace the receiver with.

I will be using this mainly for Sat Nav in the Car, but I'd like to possibly be able to use it as a walking GPS as well (not on the mountains, just around cities).

I'm torn between :-

A wired GPS - Good guaranteed connection, usually charges the PDA at the same time, but does not offer the ability to use it outside the car.

A CF GPS - Can use it in the car and out of the car, less wires around the car. But most appear pretty big in the PDA so positioning in the car may be a problem and I'm not sure how good they are at aquiring a fix

A Bluetooth GPS - Can use it in the car and out of the car. But I'm not sure how good they are at keeping a link between the GPS and the PDA (I will be using this in the car alongside a Sony Erricson BT fitted car kit and my K700i). I would need two power cables (??), one for the PDA, one for the GPS.


I would value user opinions on which would be the best to go for.

My budget is about £60 so I'll probably have to look for a second hand unit or from overseas via that dreaded auction site.
