« Fast Accurate GPS Receiver »

Great Product. Works seamlessly out of the box with Google Earth. I suggest using Franson GpsGate for other software such as streets and trips. It will save you much time setting up, and allow you to run multiple applications using gps data.
The GPS locks on very quickly on cold starts and almost instantly on a warm start. I have never recieved less than 5-6 sats at any time.

« Easy to Use »

Very easy to use.
I have a ipaq 211.
I turned on the gps unit.
I turned on the ipaq, The ipaq has a section to tell the GPS goes through COM1.
Turned on the ipaq Bluetooth.
Launched Google Maps, and presto it worked.

I also downloaded CoPilot, and this works excellent with Copilot.

I have not read the manual yet.

Used in the woods of Red River Gorge, KY. great reception.

I find the best order of sequence is to have the GPS unit turned on 1st, then turn on the PDA.

« Works when plugged in, but battery DOA »

The unit I received would not charge, and would not turn on when not plugged in. On the other hand, when plugged in, it mated fine with my Palm Centro and worked with the Tom Tom software on the Centro. It also appeared to work with the StarCaddy demo software on the Centro, but I will have to test a second unit with a working battery on the golf course to be sure. Meanwhile, I am waiting to see if Amazon refunds the 2nd day air postage I paid.

« Drastic improvement in phones that are GPS enabled »

I am an engineer so specifications are important to me. I also own another Globalsat device (TR102 personal gps tracker) which works perfectly so this was an easy choice for me.

The BT-368i contains the most powerful GPS engine (Sirf Star III). For those who own standard gps units, you would notice that "urban canyons" cause the gps signals to drop off. Also, standard gps units would show fluctuations and large errors and also movement when you are stationary. The Sirf Star III eliminates all these problems. Many times I would lock on to 9 or even 10 satellites with an error of just 6m (20ft) - even driving through large buildings or areas with tree coverage.

I have a Nokia e71 with internal gps (which works better than my Garmin and Lowrance handhelds). My phone gps works fine alone but I get a 300% improvement in accuracy and lock-on when I connect with the Globalsat unit.

I was also happily surprised by how small, thin and sleek the design was. I paired it with my phone in a few seconds. It even shuts off automatically if I turn my phone bluetooth off.

The battery also lasts for many hours (I have never experienced a dead battery yet even after 4 hours of continuous use). Excellent product!
