Anyone recommend a bluetooth GPS for N95?
I've got an N95-1 and as we all know, the GPS isn't great. I'd like to get a bluetooth one for using in the car and either Tom Tom or Garmin XT for s60.
Can anyone recommend a bluetooth GPS? Not too bothered about looks but I want something that functions well, is accurate and has a quick lock on time.
Any input greatly appreciated.

If you don't wish to use your N95'2 GPS at all, you would be better off investing in a standalone navigation device surely? They are getting quite cheap these days, and the screens are getting bigger all the time.

Are you serious? An external BT gps is about £15 to £40 on eBay?

you can get tomtom one here around $100 if it's on sale so it's almost the same. i had an external bt gps that i used with my previous phone and i even bought it around $80 i think at that time which i was lucky to win the bid. :)

I use mine with an external unit. It's FAR more sensitive and MUCH kinder on battery life. Paid just under £50 for it and am well impressed. It is truly astonishingly sensitive. Works in jeans pocket whilst driving no problem at all. Fast lock on, really can't fault it!
Can't recall the model but it's very small (key fob sized) and is sold on amazon.
Will update with details later.
UPDATED - DETAILS HERE

Seriously, you need not look any fruther than THIS LITTLE BEAUTY
For a decent review and to give an idea of size in comparison to other BT GPS units, SEE HERE
As I said previously, I bought for just under £50. The good news for you is that it's now available for less (although not directly from Amazon as was the case with mine).
Let us know what you go for! |

I VERY much doubt you will regret it! I can have it closed away in the glove box and it will still get a GPS signal.
Very, very impressive piece of kit! |
