<i>"This month I had the opportunity look at 3 GPS units from <a href="www.efrontier.co.nz">www.efrontier.co.nz</a>. Intergen was hosting this month’s Windows Mobile User Group in Wellington, and for it had put up some great spot prizes, including the GlobalSat SD-501 SDIO GPS receiver. eFrontier also lent me demo units of the Leadtek 9534 Compact Flash GPS receiver and the latest GlobalSat Bluetooth GPS receiver, the BT-338. All three utilise GPS Chipsets from <a href="www.sirf.com">www.sirf.com</a>, though each use a different one."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/ekkie_gpscards.jpg" /><br /><br />Fresh off their <a href="http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?ContentId=4551">nice review of the Globalsat BT-338</a> that I posted on <a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=40387">here</a> several days ago, Geekzone puts together another couple of thorough GPS reviews, this time on two GPS card slot solutions in the <a href="http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?ContentId=4559">Leadtek 9534 Compact Flash GPS Receiver</a> and the <a href="http://www.geekzone.co.nz/content.asp?ContentId=4570">GlobalSat SD-501 SDIO GPS Receiver</a>. This time however, the reviews aren't quite as rave. Personally, I think I prefer having a separate unit such as the BT-enabled Globalsat BT-338. What do you guys think? Would any of you prefer these CF and/or SDIO solutions?
