anyone have one they can tell their experience with? I'd like to find just a USB one that I could connect to a laptop. Bluetooth would be ok too but not necessary. I'd like one that's really accurate... I've heard the SiRF Star III is one of the best chips out there. not sure which devices are good though.
this one from leadtek looks awesome, but I can't seem to find it for sale stateside... http://www.leadtek.com.tw/eng/gps/overview...p;pronameid=296 |

wow this thing is even smaller than i thought. seems really accurate too. works pretty well w/the windows mobile 5 phone + googlemaps app
here's a comparison pic (although i do have a pretty big paw)

I have a Garmin Rino 530 ... I don't think it's what you're looking for, it's more of a "back country" GPS ... but I use it for streets and whatnot too.
The main reason I bought it is because of snowmobiling though, heh
