I purchased this GPS receiver to replace one I purchased elsewhere about 5 years ago. The description was exact, but most importantly, the shipping was estimated at around 7 days.... I received this item in 3 days!! Great transaction!! I use this...

Bought this to pair with a netbook and Microsoft Streets and Trips. My bluetooth adapter immediately found it and connected (after finding the bluetooth code in the book, it is 0000) It finds satellites quickly and updates quickly. I have it sitting...

The Holux M-1200 product works great, rapidly locking onto satellites, and is easy to use. However, the functionality of using a mobile device (Blackberry in my case) to replace dedicated GPS product leaves a lot to be desired. Turn-by-turn...

Finds and locks onto more satellites than my dedicated in car GPS receiver, very small and light. Can't comment on battery life because I haven't used it for more than 1 hour at a time but the battery is not removable which is about the only drawback...
