3rd: The design. This is not the most beautiful device in the world, but is nicer than other models. 4th: Most GPS receivers updated and send data position every 1 second (1 Hz), but this device can be tweaked to reach 5 Hz, useful to build detailed maps. I have this one paired with an Atom Life Pocket PC running under Windows Mobile 6 with Garmin Mobile XT v5.00.20 together. from Amazon.com I'm using this with an iPAQ 211 PDA running Street Atlas 2008 for Pocket PC. I started out setting it on the dashboard, then realized that works anywhere in the car. I now just toss it the center console and it picks up the satellites just fine. from Amazon.com I needed a GPS Receiver for the Nokia n800 I bought last year so I looked around for something that would work. I had loaded the free map program from Maemo, and from what I read on-line, this GPS device would work. from Amazon.com I have several GPS and this is by far the fastest acquisition unit. One day, I drove through the lower deck of the San Francisco Bay Bridge and this was the only unit that still had a signal. The others were: Mio 550 with Sirf3, Belkin GPS connected to a PDA, Navigon 2100 PNA, and my car's built in factory OEM Navigation unit - 2007 Range Rover. Connected to my HTC Touch Pro, this performed so well that I may get another. from Amazon.com This GPS receiver is awesome! It's about the size of a small box of matches and fits easily in my pocket. from Amazon.com I purchased this GPS receiver for my Blackberry Curve since Verizon blocks the internal GPS. I paid $40 for the product and it is an unbelievable bargain. from Amazon.com This is my first GPS receiver and I have never had a complaint about it once. Maybe you can find something better, but you can be certain when you buy this that you are guaranteed a great product. from Amazon.com I purchased this unit to enable my Blackberry Curve 8320 (TMobile) to have GPS mapping capabilty. The M-1000 worked right out of the box. Synchronization to the built in Blackberry map program was immediate (well, OK, it takes a few seconds for the Holux to find the satellites). from Amazon.com Out of box this GPS unit worked with no issues at all. Simple and fast Sat connection. Since I was looking for a receiver for my internet tablet, I didn't see much info for this unit and it's compatibility with the Nokia n800 as I was shopping around. I'm happy to report to those with this tablet, that this receiver works very well. from Amazon.com It is very fast and it works with NOkia's. The only thing is that It does not have ant home charger. Only car charger. But you may charge with any USB mini cable. from Amazon.com
