Globalsat BT-359 - GPS receiver module Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got this item about a week ago, and am quite pleased with it.
I am using it in conjunction with TomTom Navigator 6 installed on a Treo 700W phone, running Windows Mobile 5. I've also used it with Google Map, and have found no real problems.
Bluetooth: pairing the receiver with the phone is a breeze. Just follow the instructions provided on the accmopanying CD. There are a couple of settings for WM5 that's only available on the CD. Setup can be a pain if you don't read the instructions first and set up the correct outgoing port.
GPS Signal: quite good. I've placed the receiver on the car dashboard, and have made one 500 mile round-trip with it, and on average have reception from 5+ satellites. The boot-up time of the receiver is 30-60 seconds, and the TomTom software validates the signal about 5 seconds after that.
Battery life: good. The fully charged battery lasted the entire 500 mile trip with no problem. It comes with a car charger and a wall charger.
Side note: the only issue I had was not with the receiver, but with the software. TomTom software made one mistake thinking two roads are connected when they are not.

TomTom Bluetooth GPS Receiver for USA and Canada Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Got this so I could use it with roqybt for the ipod touch and it works perfectly. takes about a minute to find a signal sometimes but other than that I have no problems with this device. I love how this device turns off automatically once it is no longer connected to my ipod, i don't have to worry or remember about turning it off when I leave my car and I have to start the gps program backup on my ipod when I get back to the car so turning this device back on is just a small step to starting the gps program. and its not like theres a lot to do when you turn this thing on, you hit the one button on the device to turn it on then I click one button on my ipod and bam its connected and the gps program is searching for a signal which it finds very quickly compared to my TomTom One gps which usually takes 5 or more minutes to find even one satalite and thats on clear days with a clear view of the sky.
if you have a jailbroken ipod touch 3g and don't want to buy the expensive gps kits from apple this device and rogybt will be a perfect and cheaper alternative. I do recommend you find a good car mount kit for your ipod though because the gps on it is only helpful if the ipod is not laying on the floor of your car from where it slid off your dash or out of the ashtray. :)
