Digital camera reviews of IO Gear GBGPS201 Bluetooth GPS Kit -US and Canada Maps
Digital camera Review: Acceptable accuracy, updated software
Summary: 4 Stars
We used to have the Belkin Bluetooth GPS but it broke down. The main disadvantages for the Belkin one was the lack of sufficient points of interest (shops, restaurants, etc.) in our area (Portland, OR) and the inaccuracies in the GPS locations (10-30 feet off).
The IOGEAR Bluetooth GPS has a major advantage over the Belkin one: it has the same software but un updated version that significantly improves the number of pints of interests (POI). The positioning inaccuracies remain and it is bulkier (although with better batery life).
On the overall usage:
- it works fine with the Dell X30 that we have, connection is smooth, not that difficult to setup the first time
- the software has voice guidance so you don't have to keep an eye on it. It doesn't spell the names of the streets except when the names are actually numbers.
- on our PDA the rerouting if you missed a turn or an exit is very fast (much faster than on dedicated Garmin or Magellan GPS gizmos)
- another advantage over the dedicated solutions: you can use the addresses associated with your contacts to setup a route
