in I wanna buy it or do it
Howdy all,

I'm looking to buy a Bluetooth GPS receiver for Tom Tom Mobile which I have on my phone.

I need to get it today really, the cheapest I can find online is £35 from mobilefun.co.uk.

Does anyone know any high street shops that sell one for less than £50?
I would have used my own initiative if someone would have told me to!

    Ive always bought them off ebay, Ive spent a fair bit for the Holux GPSlim 236 £100+ ages ago and again another for my sister £70 just before christmas. I have also bought the holox bluetooth GPS units for freinds, performance wise the holox is very good speed at picking up the signal is really quick the holux can take a minute some times. the big difference is the quality of the build I have droped the holux one a few times and it works I dont think I would like to drop the holox ones every they feel like they would shatter.

    I dont really know of a highstreet supplier othe than for the original Tom Tom BT kit where you get the GPS and a legal copy of the software for about £200 ish

    No - It is hard to buy GPS's on the high street - and if you can they tend to be top prices. I bought my Holux 236 from Hong Kong on Ebay for £43 delivered - came within 1 week. Pleased with it so far - better than the BT-77 I used to have (sold it to a friend who wanted one quick for his holidays).
