Wintec GPS
From Hexten
Wintec manufacture a popular range of GPS receivers. Wintec units stream NMEA data over Bluetooth and USB. They can also log GPS data for subsequent download. The supplied software is Windows only so I had a poke around with a serial port analyser and reverse engineered enough of the protocol to write a gpsbabel module for it.

[edit] Credits
Thanks are due to Semsons for providing three different Wintec units for testing. In my experience they're a great company to deal with. If you're buying a WBT-200 or 201 I would recommend checking them out.
[edit] Donate!
Not to me - to the gpsbabel project. Robert tells me that although there are thousands of Mac users downloading gpsbabel he's had very little support from the Mac community. So if you find gpsbabel useful please donate a small amount of money to help support the project.
