K so i am in th emarket for a gps recever for my phone as it appears with all the gps solutions i have looked at for my phone all require the use of a blue tooth gps receiver, (for whatever reason it doesn't appear that the one built into your phone is any good?). So what are yu people who use GPS bia their phones use? Whats good? What should i stay away from? Any and all reccommendations welcomed.

I don't have any recommendations. But I was about to post the same question, so I hope someone's got some suggestions.

I've used loadstone and the GPS reciever built into the phone works fine. It is accurite anywhere from 20 to 9 meters so a blue tooth one would probably give you more accuracy but I don't know what one to use.

So you can use the ones built into your phone .. everything i have read/listened to on way finder/mobileGeo//Loadstone makes it seem like you have to use a bluetooth receiver
