Holux GPS / Power cable

Advantages: light, portable, good reception, accutate
Disadvantages: none

...A slim GPS Receiver that connect to your device using 'Bluetooth' a handy product that will enable your smartphone or windows mobile phone to connect to the GPS satalite network for trip guidence and other similar sat-nav tasks. I have used this with my O2 XDA mini phone and found it to be very reliable. I loaded the Destinator sat-nav software onto my phone, launched the application and swithched on the Holux receiver and once i had set up the pairing in my phone it was good to go! Reception was excellent and accuracy very good. In fact because it is so portable i was able to compare it with my friends Pergout car's factory fitted sat-nav and it beat it for accuracy hands down. I also use it with some Geocaching software for paperless caching - look up Geocaching on google if you want to know what it is? Some phones now have... Read review

...My first satnav kit. This was perfect for me as I already have a PocketPC with Bluetooth (an iPAQ 4700). I bought the bundle from dabs for about £120. Note that the "display size" score is arbitrary as this kit doesn't include anything with a display - I've based this on the average 3.5" size of a PDA screen. In the box 1x Holux GR-230 Bluetooth GPS receiver 1x car charger (12V DC) for the GPS receiver 1x USB cable for the GPS receiver 1x SD Card containing software 1x CD* 1x PDA holder kit 1x printed manual (in good English) * I haven't needed to use the CD at all. I suspect it contains drivers if you connect the GPS to a PC, and electronic versions of the manuals. Setting up Very straightforward, insert the SD card and the software automatically installs. There are two options, a minimal... Read review
