User Reviews about Holux M-1000C Bluetooth GPS Data Logger Travel Recorder (Bluetooth - USB - 66CH - WAAS - 200k Waypoints - M1000c)

This product is a good GPS data logger if you are looking for a way to keep track files. It can be used for geo-tagging photos, recording paths taken on trips, and as a bluetooth GPS for navigation. It can log GPS track files internally while also being used as a bluetooth GPS. More pros is the ability to export the track files as raw NMEA files and KMZ files (Google Earth Files). It has a long battery life (I have had it running for over 16 hours straight) and has good reception (works in the NYC subway system, even under the east river).

There are some cons associated with it though. It seems that the only way to export the data from the internal memory is through their proprietary software, which can be troublesome when using multiple computers (this is just when accessing internal memory, not while using it as a bluetooth GPS). Also, reception is good is rural, suburban, and underground urban areas, but when above ground in an urban area, don't expect an accurate path. I have tried to use this three times in NYC; each time while above ground, I have my actual path off varying from only a few feet to 3 blocks, though it works fine underground. (This is attributed to the signal bouncing off the tall buildings; I believe most entry level GPS loggers will do this.)

I recommend this to everyone looking to keep GPS track files, unless your sole plans are to use this in an urban area with tall buildings, which I then would find another GPS logger. -- GPS Data Logger

I bought the Holux M-1000c with the purpose of geotagging my photos. The software was really easy to use, and the time synchronization worked great. The instruction manual says that you need a special mini-USB cable in order to communicate via USB, but a standard mini-USB cable worked fine for me to download the data and configure the device.

I've also used the device in my car, and the it works great there as well. -- Great for photo geotagging
