TomTom Wireless GPS Receiver 20 channel GPS receiver module

Advantages: good
Disadvantages: none

I dont have a 20 channel receiver however I do have a 12 channel receiver which came in the box with my Tom Tom Navigator 5 for PDA, whichi I use in my Treo 680 Smart Phone.

It does link ...

So no problems with performance and use and well worth the low price tag. ***** Summary ***** A fantastic product that performs well and is very user friendly and reliable. These types of units are becoming a bit obsolete now with better performing Bluetooth units but you ...
