I will be receiving my new MPX220 on Monday, and I would like to order a bluetooth GPS. What is the best combination of hardware and software for a user in the United States?

Sorry for the late response...

As far as hardware goes, any of the BT GPS receivers would work. I would recommend the newer Socket BT receiver. But as I said any BT GPS would work fine.

But when it comes to software, I know Pocket Streets 2005 and CoPilot Live work. But some like Mapopolis do not work, because MPx220 does not have a BT serial port configurator tool. :-( Also I haven't tried anything other than Pocket Streets and Mapopolis.

Pocket Streets doesn't do routing. Mapopolis does that but does not work with MPx220. And I have heard that CoPilot is pretty good. But expensive.
