Gps Receiver For Bluetooth Cell Phone, Pda And PC

It's hard to believe there is a viable Bluetooth GPS receiver in such a small package. I purchased a Freedom Mini as a replacement for the clunkier Bluetooth receiver I was using with the Tom Tom GPS software I have on my Palm TX. Setup was really quick: you use the Palm "Prefs" system app and run the Bluetooth "Setup Devices" .. "Trusted Devices" and when prompted enter 1234 as the passkey and that's it. Even inside my house, where my older receiver can find nothing, this little guy finds more than 6 satellites that the Tom Tom software can utilize. The device has a mini-USB connector which is used for charging, either through a car cigarette lighter (cable supplied) or via a powered USB port (cable supplied). That's the same charging tactic used with my old BT receiver, so I'm comfortable with it and haven't find it to be an issue. I did do a bit of homework before buying this device, and must admit I held my breath after setting it up because I figured that at its size it might need pretty ideal conditions to work well. Well, we're under heavy cloud cover and I'm sitting inside and it's still locked in on a bunch of satellites. 'Nuff said.
