I am looking to add GPS BT receiver to my E61 and while there is no question on what software to use (TT6) the choice for the BT GPS module is still unclear. Can ya'll list the models and comments?

Here is the one I was reading about - Holux GPSlim 236, but it seem to be at least 1.5 old....
 
I use the LD-3W, faster chip processor than the LD-1W, with my E61 and TT6. Works flawlessly and has never given me any problems. The reason I chose the Nokia over the Holux was that both the E61 and the BT GPS get charged by the same car charger. less bulk to carry around.

I also use the LD-1W and it works pretty well. Sometimes I have a little trouble getting it to give TT6 GPS data when I first connect but I just turin it off/on and it's fine. I use it with my N80 but I've connected and tested it with my friend's E61 and it worked fine.
 
I use the Holux GPSlim 236.
Quite frankly, any BT GPS using the SiRF III chipset ought to work quite well.

The only reason I picked the Holux is because it has an external antenna plug (not like I'll ever use it), and it uses a battery equivalent to a Nokia BL-5C (and BL-6C if you cram it in there). So if you've got these batteries lying around, you'll always have a spare for the GPS.
 
I use the LD-1W. It also takes the same BL-5C, and has a external antenna port. I have a bazillion of those batteries, and it's nice to only carry one charger.
 
Holy cow, I just took a look at TomTom's site. Man their stuff is expensive. TT6 (software only) is $150.

I can't wait until Google Mobile Maps supports GPS...
 
Just placed an order for TT6 and LD-3W. While I am staying a devoted fan of gmaps, GPS software is much more then that. I don't see google adding any of these stuff (POI, re-routing and etc) to the menu.
