Holux GR-231. Got it cheap from a buddy, but it seems to take a while to acquire a signal. Decent battery life at 9 hours. Not bad, but you could probably find better for the same money.

i wooted the 770, too. it rocks. on ebay, i picked up a nib NOKIA LD-1W bluetooth antenna for $50 (current model is the 3W). then, i used the maemo bt-plugin to snare the MAC address (http://770.fs-security.com/maemo-bt-plugin/) and tether, and installed maemo mapper. i'm surprised at how easy everything went together.

I use the Emtac BTGPS III. Works like a charm.

Pharos gps that comes with MS Streets and Trips, with the bluetooth adapter. Works great.

I got a Unitraq BT-5 GPS receiver (http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?InvtId=BT-5&cpc=RECOM) last week and played with a lot over the weekend and it works very well. The one problem I have is that if I put the cover on the Nokia 770 or restart Maemo Mapper, I need to power cycle the GPS unit.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?
