I'm looking at making my 607 my GPS for my car. I found something on www.wayfinder.com, but for $100 for the bluetooth GPS and software, I can't help be turned off by it. Anyone know anything about it, or maybe some other bluetooth sets for a good price? I'm trying to stick around $200, just because any more and I might as well buy a real GPS TomTom system.

Edit-Just realized Wayfinder is more for the UK and not for the US, and you have to pay monthly.

Are you located in the US or UK? I'm assuming US, but the circumstances will be different if it's the UK. You could get Mapopolis for $100 for the whole US. They even have a trial so you can see if you like it before buying it. The best place I've found to purchase GPS receivers is Semsons. I've purchased a few items from them, and was always very pleased with the price, shipping, and products. They have some particularly great deals in the Outlet section of the site. They have a couple BT receivers for $49.99 right now in the outlet section. Not necessarily the best or newest GPS technology, but it'll certainly get the job done.

I just picked up the BT GPS from Cingular "G-Sat". I'm charging it now and i'll let you guys know how well it works. For $99, I figured i'd try it (Read: I hate waiting for online stuff).

Honestly they offer that unit at a very good price. Don't let the price fool you either, it is best out of several GPS (older) that I have ever used. I even have this one mounted under the dash of my Jeep and it has no problems getting and maintaining a sat fix even under bridges and in upper levels of parking garages.

K, tried TomTom, doesn't seem to work on the BlackJack at all, my version doesn't. Trying Telenav, which you don't pay for the software, but the service, it's $9.99 a month. So far it's pretty good, easy and simple. Downsides are it's a little too simple and it has to call in to do basically anything rather than using data. I hope there is an option in the future to use data, it's a lot faster that way.
