I have a Palm treo 650. I loaded up Tom Tom software. The original GPS reciever that came for Palm went bad so I has to replace it with the Holux. It works great, but, sometimes its takes a while to connect to a satellite. from Amazon.com I did not realize I had to purchase a compatible map program to go with this product. When I tried it on my smartphone, it shut down my ability to receive calls also. from Amazon.com I bought this after I tried a pharoas BT GPS receiver w/ TomTom software. I can't say enough good things about the Holux 236. from Amazon.com I needed a Bluetooth GPS and started to read about different products. I found out that Sirf III was something to go for and when i found GR 236 with great specifications i ordered it. from Amazon.com oh, and how easy was it to use? from Amazon.com it is small, lightweight, and worked instantly out of the box with my mac and my treo 650. from Amazon.com this bluetooth gps work great with my notebook and pocket pc, easy setup no problems so far with different software i use. from Amazon.com easy to start and connect to laptop, pda, whatever bluetooth... from Amazon.com at the first when i was tryin to align it, it was afternoon, and i went to top of my houses roof(i m in middle east, its summer so imagine on top of the roof at afternoon when temp goes around 50c) from Amazon.com A very useful product. I use it with my PDA phone. from Amazon.com
