User Reviews about Holux M-1000 32 Channel Wireless Bluetooth GPS Receiver

It is not often I take the time to review a product online; it has to be especially exceptional and exceed my expectations. The Holux M-1000 did exactly that.

I purchased this unit after some extensive online research into how feed real-time GPS data into Google Earth on my Acer AspireOne netbook. I am planning on using this setup to track my location while driving through the countryside on an upcoming European vacation. In addition to the M-1000 (and the netbook) I used Google Earth Voyager 6.0 to perform automatic caching and GooPs to pass the data into Google Earth. If you are looking to track your position via GPS in Google Earth, I strongly recommend this approach.

More on the GPS - This thing is LIGHT! Even with the battery installed, the unit feels half as heavy as my cell phone. The Holux M-1000 is easy to use (one switch) and the three different LEDs are simple to understand. I was blown away by the GPS reception in my house (11 satellites) and the accuracy - I took my netbook and gps for a walk around the block (yeah, I probably looked like a dork to my neighbors) and it showed my track on the sidewalk! You can charge the Holux with the included car charger, a standard Mini A USB cable hooked to your pc, or if you have a Mini A wall charger for a bluetooth headset or phone you can use that too. The included software application is simple to use - tracks satellites, their strength, your speed, etc. and is (like everything else) easy to setup and use.

If you are looking for an inexpensive yet quality GPS solution, I strongly recommend the Holux M-1000 - you will not be disappointed.
-- Excellent GPS Unit!

This thing is great! Extremely long battery life - I think I got 25 hours on a recent trip to Thailand. I use this with a Nokia N800, which it links up to fast and without a problem. It finds multiple satellite signals within a minute - usually at least ten. It has a user replaceable, commonly available (which means cheap!) battery. Is there anything wrong with this GPS unit? Not that I can see. If you're in the market for a standalone GPS unit, this is the one you want! -- Outstanding performance!

This product worked flawlessly for me on a recent long trip. It put my handheld Garmin GPS to shame with it's extremely fast satellite aquisition time and tracking capability. On the road it was usually locked onto at least eight satellites and often ten or eleven. It's sturdy and compact and it came with a nifty little adjustable suction cup windshield mount that held it securely in place with velcro. It uses a readily available Nokia lithium ion cell phone battery that lasted for over twenty four hours before it needed recharging. It's accuracy was so good that on my notebook's GPS mapping program you could tell which lane of an Interstate you were in. It's an excellent product by a dedicated GPS company in Taiwan at a very resonable price! -- A great little GPS receiver!

I really didn't want to pay AT&T a monthly fee for GPS, and finding this receiver was the answer. It paired easily with my Samsung Jack, and works flawlessly with Garmin XT. I got lucky and found a used copy of Garmin on eBay for less than $40, so for less than $80 I have turn by turn spoken directions anywhere I go, and I'm not paying a hefty subscription fee for AT&T's aGPS system (uses towers rather than satellite for positioning). This means that even where cell coverage is unavailable I still can get where I want to go. I'm a happy camper! -- Love it!

This product works great with the Motorola Q phone and google maps. It doesn't pair through the windows mobile bluetooth manager, but you can manually configure the GPS under google maps for windows mobile. After that, it's great. I leave the receiver turned on in my laptop case and use the phone as the Navigation System. Then I don't need to carry a separate Garmin thing. Google maps help you find restaurants, hotels, directions, etc.

This is a great product. -- Works great with Motorola Q phone and google maps
