Slightly off topic, but I was wondering if anyone could recommend a decent Bluetooth enabled GPS logger? I want to purchase a relatively simple and inexpensive GPS logger that I can use both as a GPS receiver with my Blackberry Pearl/Google Maps and as a GPS logger for my digital photography.
I've seen a bunch of units discussed on various websites, but I was hoping someone might be able to give me a personal recommendation. I can't say that I have a preference for the MTK vs. SiRF star III chipset, but I do plan on using the device heavily overseas, especially in Asia.

I bought one a few months ago when I was playing around with Google maps http://www.navigadget.com/index.php/2006/12/27/i-b...
It works great and is really easy to use. I think I paid about $75-80 on ebay for it. Of course I found out after I started playing with it that it breaks the terms and conditions of google maps to store their images locally on your machine. That meant that I couldn't use Google maps in an offline mode. LAME! LAME! LAME!

Thanks for the tip Steve. Overall, ho do you find the reception of the receiver? How about the solar recharging - does that really work?
