From the info I've gathered off the net and other people I've narrowed my choice down to four GPS systems for my x3i. I've looked at the Pharos Bluetooth, and the Navigator Kit from www.pharosgps.com. Both seem nice but the bluetooth is much more expensive. I have several questions about them. The first is which one is better. I understand that with bluetooth I will be wireless which i like b/c I use a radar detector which takes up my cigarette lighter. But I was wondering what would be the best decision for me, what are the benefits of the bluetooth model, will I need a bluetooth sd card or memory card, or both, and will it really drain my battery to use? I'm going to use this for car travel purposes. Also I looked at the Earthmate model (bluetooth and non bluetooth) and that seems nice too. I have to same questions for that as well. I would really appreciate some help on this b/c I don't want to spend money less expensive product and wish I bought bluetooth or buy bluetooth and have to spend a fortune to work with my pda. As you can see I'm a newbie to this whole GPS stuff. Thanks for all your help!

The bluetooth GPS has some pluses and minuses such as not being able to connect or get a signal but with "non-bluetooth" having the regular GPS with the reciever, you will be able to have your position available no matter where you are if you have got the maps because your GPS Reciever will always be connected via satelite.
