Anyone knows a nice and affordable BT GPS unit that works fine with the P990i?

Hi all,
I have been useing a Holux BT-321 it is capable of aquireing 32 satellites so is future proof for when more satellites get launched. It aquires the statellites fast and has great battery life and is also really small and has worked with out any problems with 3 different phones and Tom Tom i purchased it off E-Bay and was approx £60.

Only thing I miss is the 1 person graphic that I have seen in other programs.
The cheapest way of using nav4all is just to let it show you arrows and the distance to next turn. (With voice). Then you won't need any gprs during the ride, except if you make a wrong turn and the system has to recalculate your rout.
The other way is the overview with a map and an arrow for your location. Depending on how zoomed in you are it will cost you more gprs everytimes you get to the edge of the map and the map updates.
Still got the voice here telling you when to turn and so..
I have had some problems with bad suggestions for turns and ways. For example it wanted me to cross a highly trafficed road in the middle of Stockholm to make an forbidden left-turn. And then it tried to loure me in at a road only for buses.
lol..
edit: But hey! It's free!! Hehe... And the Holux GPS-reciver that is sold at the nav4all-homepage is cheap and works nice.

Works via bluetooth from a GPS-reciver. The GPS-reciver needs to "se" the sky. So when going by car just put it at the dashboard at the front.. just at your window.
Check
http://www.nav4all.com
There you can read what maps they have.. and language.

I tested that but wayfinder didns't work any well on my p990. I had the first fw then and had problems with the sound. I had this confirmed by wayfinder support and they said that they was working on the problem and that there was not oficcial support for p990 in wayfinder yet. They obviously have a UIQ3-ver but it's not tested at and do not support p990 fully. They will come out with a relase for the p990 soon.
