I have the OnCourse bluetooth GPS puck. Construction is great, the entire unit is encased in rubber. The buttons are a little hard to operate, because they are small and recessed. Fix time is generally good. Big complaint, maybe this is an issue with the phone more than the GPS is that each time I turn the GPS receiver on I have to delete it from the list of bluetooth devices and re-pair it.

This thread should probably get moved to the GPS forum. There, you're likely to find at least one person who recommends every GPS receiver currently made.

You can find all sorts of bluetooth GPS receivers: touchpad, keychain, puck. Look for an antenna sensitivity of -155 dBm or better/more negative. I've got a GlobalTop G66 that works great with my 8220.
