Best GPS for v0.5

Since Map This v0.5 is just mind blowing, I am going to buy myself a GPS.

I know PSP-290 is having some problems, but what about the others? I know many are wondering the same thing. There is also the Holux M1000 and Holux GPSlim 240.

I live in Jefferson City, MO. There are lots of hills here, but mostly wide open.

I am using 3.52 M33-3

I'd go with gpslim240...

Well, I went with psp-290, and im not having any problems at all, especially since i live in denver, CO. As long as you have wide open skies, youll never have a problem picking up sats

Awesome, you can't go wrong with advice from the man himself! Thanks a lot.

i have psp-290 at first, then it slowly gives me fixed signal. one month later, i bought the Holux GPSlim 240, and it works very great. it's only half size of the M1000.

And don´t forget that you cant use the PSP-290 with your PC but an external unit souch as Holux GpSlim236 with bluetooth you can connect with or without wires to a PC for future use. Its more dual purpose :)

I recently registered an account here, and I guess I'm probably pretty late in this PSP GPS game. Anyhow, I too was wondering which GPS receiver to choose. After digging around a little, I decided to go with Holux M1000B. Aside from the comparisons mentioned above, also note that gpslim240 tend to have battery problems after a few months, and its battery is neither replacable nor under warranty. Take a look at some user reviews:
