Add SAT NAV to Nokia 6680

I have a new nokia 6680 and i want to add sat nav capabilities.
What do i need ??
To the best of my understanding i need a gps blueetooth device and tom tom software. Where can i get all these at a reasonable price. Any from your experiences is it worth the hassle ( i mean is it really usable on a phone) or should i just get a sat nav device like a tom tom ?

Anyone

a BT-77 bluetooth GPS receiver from ebay will cost about £50
then you will need the software route 66 or tomtom 5 mobile
seem to be the best.
(I use tomtom 5 mobile with my 6630 and it works 100%))

I use a Holux GPSlim with TomTom 5 mobile on my 6630 and it works a treat. The screen is big enough for the map and directions - although the little numbers telling you stuff like speed and total distance to go are a bit small, but no big deal.

TomTom sell the software and a decent GPS reciever, or you can get the stuff on ebay. But be aware there are some good GPS recievers and some not so good ones, so best read around a bit to see what you want and want to spend.
