Not that easy to read > the display then. Hi Toni, I tend to put it on the side pocket of my backpack, with the slider opened, but it closes itself due to the trepidations of the bycicle. When I'm doing some OSM fun, usually I don't look to the cellphone, it keeps recording the GPS signal and I wrote down the street names on a paper (I like it better than writing notes on cellphone). I just bought a cellphone holder on DealExtreme - this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15544 - to try if this GPS signal gets any better. Unfortunately, here I cannot use my cellphone there all the time or I'll get robbed... :( > I have a BT-GPS-Mouse which is definitely better with the > Nokia-Sports-Tracker.

I believe it's like that because of poor signal reception, not due to program. This BT-GPS-Mouse is similar to this? http://europe.nokia.com/A4144279 I'd love to try a BT GPS module like that, so I can know I'd not waste $50 in order to have exactly the same fuzzy signal.
