I just read a review of the Garmin GLO GPS/GLONASS receiver. Looks pretty good.
I'm assuming it would work with Maemo Mapper on my N810, a lot better than the built-in chip which can have appalling acquisition times, and sucks power.
Well, I bought the thing. Works fine with my E71 phone, and I thought it didn't with the N810 but then it started working when I changed the GPS settings in the control menu (as opposed to in maemo mapper). The passcode for pairing seems to be 1234 but it's not documented.
I'm not sure about power drain - I'm not sure the internal chip is really turned off (the icon is on). It's certainly more sensitive and faster to acquire than the builtin.
