Could someone reccomend me a bluetooth GPS reciever?

Ive seen a few on ebay but they seem quite big. Im after a small-ish one. Looking to spend about £40 max.

I purchased one a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if I can post a link but it's about the size of a matchbox.

Just over £30 all in.

Very, very impressed with it. Even works inside!

I have one of these, it is great. About the size of a match box. It beats the wired Tomtom one I had hands down.

That's very similar to the one I bought.

Looks to be the same seller as well although using a different name.

Go on eBay and look for the 32-channel ones for £30-£35; the SiRF star III ones don't even come close to the performance and battery life. It uses ordinary Nokia phone battery and charges via USB and you even get a signal indoors!
For me, it takes less than a minute of getting in the car to switch on, connect to my phone and get a GPS signal.
They have different brand names but all the same chipset [something like CFMD(?)]

Battery lasts ages and it always gets a great signal.

I've got one of these as well.

I use it with an o2 XDA Mini S and TomTom and its awesome

I've also tried it with Nokia Maps on a Nokia N73 but not for any length of time but it seemed fine.
