Can anyone recomend me a good one from e-bay?
I have a nokia N70 and will be 'purchasing' the software for it in the near future so want to buy the GPS reciver 
Just want to know what the best ones are out of all the makes on e-bay...
Looking to spend around £40 all in for it

yeah, I wanted to go for the 32 channels one but then opted for the 20. (even if they work only with 12 channels-they pick up the best ones)
In terms of acquisition time, live locations and signal strength
But as always, my experience might defer.
