[maemo-users] Good GPS Bluetooth module

I don't remember which is which, but I'm pretty sure it's the 3W that is newer and uses a newer charger. Mine LD-3W came with vehicle charger usable also with 770. LD-3W is newer, i think, but lacks external antenna input, that 1W had.

Hello, everybody!Could you please recommend what GOOD (AKA compatible) GPS module should I buy for my Nokia 770?I plan use it with Maemo-mapper application with Google Maps and for fun.Everything what I need - exact model and possibly price.

I strongly suspect all Bluetooth GPSes are compatible.Check if theysupport the NMEA protocol.There was a long thread on Internet Tablet Talk forums with a list ofcompatible devices. Thanks, founded it! I use a NaviLock (rebranded Globalsat) BT-308, which was the first one available at a local shop.If I had done some more research before buying it I would probably havechosen the Nokia one that uses a compatible charger.What model - LD-1W or LD-3W or both uses compatible charger?
