From the reviews I have read I am interested to buy this GPS receiver (Holux GPSlim 236).

Is there anybody have had tried this receiver with Nokia 6680 or Nokia 6120?
Any advices for me base on your experiences so far?

Please do help me.

I have one. I used it with my Nokie 6682 a couple of times with WayFinder software. It was just fine.

I've used it a lot more with my Nokia E62 - the much bigger screen makes for a lot more satisfying experience, especially with the new Wayfinder 7 update ... 3D view like I first saw with Tom Tom Navigator.

The GPSlim has worked flawlessly for me so far. I shove it onto the dashboard somewhere - usually right next to speedo+rev counter, no need to have it right in the window - and it 'just works'.

I think claimed battery life is around 10 hours or so, and I can believe it. The provided auto power-supply allows you to use it instantly even if you've managed to run the battery completely flat.

The only time I've had any issue is when *totally* surrounded by high-rise buildings, or on a lower level of a multi-level road complex. Both of these were in San Francisco if I remember correctly...
