 this stuff proved what others saidAug 03, 2007
By Eduardo Itar Kimura
I bought this stuff in "automatic pilot mode", blindly trusting on other customer reviews and number of stars. I confess it was a difficult choice since the market has a myriad of options. I compared with other options with nice designs and others with interesting "techie" speech. This one seems to be the BEST product, since it accomplishes what a customer expects despite of all other techie promise: it's VERY fast in reaching sattelites, it's SMALL, PORTABLE, NICE LOOKING, OUTSTANDING BATTERY LIFE, EASY TO USE, PHANTASTIC BLUETOOTH CONNECTIVITY, and comes with a practical car recharger.
I bought from Brazil and have never heard about this brand yet in my life. Now I know this is a strong product that really worths the investment. I recommend this product to others and better, I recommend buying this separate bluetooth stuff that connects not only with your smartphone but also with other bluetooth notebooks that can run much better windows-based software for full 15-inch screen (to use inside your boats for example), with many other 3D mapping features.
Thanks for the other reviewers for helping me buy the best choice.
I'm traveling to Hawaii and taking this stuff with me in my backpack. I just downloaded Oahu and Kilauea maps, it's really phantastic...this will drive me to the points with no trouble.

Globalsat BT338Sep 10, 2007
By A. Cohen
El GPS GlobalSat BT338 es excelente, tiene una recepción muy sensible, que incluso dentro de recintos capta algun satelite. Yo soy Chileno y en esta Zona capta hasta 10 satelites al mismo tiempo.
Muy buen producto y muy pequeño para la utilidad que tiene.

Solid performance, small packageMay 13, 2007
By Marawello
I use this with both a Blackberry phone and a laptop, and have been very happy with it's fast acquisition time, long battery life and great ability to stay locked on even in heavy tree cover and in urban canyons. Did I mention that it's tiny? I just throw it in my briefcase and always have it handy.

 Works Great While It WorksJan 13, 2008
By Thomas Thompson
"PhysioEcoGuy"
PRO: Lightweight receiver-only connecting via bluetooth to anything. Great SirfIII picks up multiple birds. Fast warm, fairly fast cold. Accuracy good for driving purposes. Good battery life and can buy multiple batteries for walking use. Limited diagnostic software available from manufacturer for 32-bit and 64-bit Vista.
Cons: Where to start? I use the BT338 (Black model) with a laptop and also Dell Axim x50v running Windows Mobile 5. Both connect via bluetooth. I use iGuidance, ESRI ARCPad, ESRI ARCInfo, and the manufacturer's own GPSInfo test software. I have re-paired the bluetooth connection on both the laptop and handheld and they pair with the BT338 and assign a COM port with a serial connection as required for the BT338. It no longer works. The GPS side has died. I have removed the battery for over twelve hours as customer support recommends to "reset the ROM." Google the read forums on this device and see what people are experiencing as they troubleshoot the same problems between themselves and the company in Taiwan that makes it.
Bottom line: I use this device with different hardware platforms and different software and the GPS, not bluetooth, side of the BT338 has reliability issues. Don't buy it!

super accurate, fast lock timeDec 30, 2006
By Homestar Manny
Works great. Lock time is fabulous even indoors (12" thick brick walls with plaster), accuracy is routinely around 2 meters.
