I'm looking for sources of inspiration and/or design patterns for navigation 'breadcrumbs'. So far I have found the breadcrumb collection on Pattern Tap. Does anyone know of any other sources?

The article 'Taming lists' from A List Apart has some good advice on CSS styling for breadcrumbs (look down for the heading 'Breadcrumb Trails').

I found a few good/bad examples of breadcrumbs here.

Also, there's a blog post about breadcrumb designs.
