I just one from www.inter-activeinformation.com, but you can also get the same one from ebay (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/16-channel-Blu...QQcmdZViewItem)
The Inter-Active one was cheaper at the time.
Works like a dream.
I recommended to MadMonkeyBoy (www.dweiniger.com) that the best GPS is the GlobalSat BT-338 that uses the newest SiRF III chipset. I can lock within 1-10 seconds after powering on the device, and it even works inside buildings and places the older generation devices wouldn't even get a satellite signal!
It's worth the $150 USD I spent and it's become a hot seller on his site.
I bought a Nemerix-based bluetooth GPS (the one posted here), and wasn't very impressed. It frequently lost the signal lock outdoors in London, and would take a relatively long time to reacquire a signal. I compared this to the signal on a SysOnChip CF Plus II card, and there was no competition - the SysOnChip compact flash card was miles ahead of the Nemerix unit. I wouldn't go for just the cheapest unit, since some of them are hardly useable in some environments you may need them in. If you have a CF slot, then the SysOnChip is strongly recommended, although it's not exactly the cheapest option around.
Would recommend looking at www.globalpositioningsystems.co.uk they have a good range and are normally very competitive. Have bout a Garmin GPSmap 60cs and and Ipaq 4700 from them in the last year. Excellent next day service and they were the cheapest for both items at the time.
I've had mine a few months now (based on Nemerix), and it now does take a while to warm up, can be a few minutes, so I've now learnt to switch it on while loading the car, or just to use a map/local knowledge until it finds a signal.
However it has got me to Northern Italy and back to the Stelvio pass - only had to charge a few times. I used TomTom5 with GB plus (the plus seems to have major roads of europe - I would say down to important B roads as well, such as the pass road).

The Holux GPS ones on eBay are supposed to be good value for money.
