Gps?
 

I want to buy a GPS adapter for my Pearl, which one should I get? Any Recommendations?

Anyone?

It need a bluetooth GPS. You can find several of them on Ebay. I will avoid the 32 channels ones though because I think they just say that when it really is not.

I have the Holux GPSlim 240. Works fine for me and uses the same usb connector as my Pearl for recharging.

I use the GlobalSat BT-359 , though I have an 8700g . Works great with BBMaps, and setup was a cinch. Should be fine with the Pearl too.

what software are you useing with the holux?
thanks

I have the Globalsat BT359W also for my 8703e and am very happy. Really good reception, and it was easy pairing.:smile:

Brucejr, what software are you using? does it act just like other standalone gps divices with rerouting features and turn by turn instructs?

Try Telenav.

i would prefer software that does not have a monthly charge. and free would be even better....

After reading stinsonddog's extensive GPS review Stinsonddog's Blackberry GPS Review I went with Wayfinder Navigator Lifetime for $99. Telenav has the best POI in the US but I liked the one time price I paid on Wayfinder. Both Google Maps and Blackberry Maps are *free programs (remember you need to check your data plan roaming etc. since you will use a lot with these programs). I am real happy so far.

Did you see my thread on the new WF POI's. I found all my Starbucks when I didn't before.

No I am going to have to investigate that. Does this mean they are updating POI's in the US? That would be awesome.:smile:

Just read the thread. AWESOME! I am going to have to check it on the way home and see what is "visible" now in the way of local POI's when I do a search. Thanks for the update and the awesome GPS review!(y)

Cool Beans! POI's in my area are now "visible!" Woo Hoo!:smile: (y)

GPSlim 240 bought this otherday and connected to BB8700 thru BT and works perfect. no software required.
