Globalsat BT338 Bluetooth GPS System Review

Providing much-needed and improved sensitivity for a foliage and urban canyon environment, the Globalsat BT-338 Bluetooth GPS Receiver comes with a SiRFSTAR III Low Power Chipset, and it uses the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile to communicate with the host platform (for example, your laptop computer or PDA). Since it contains a large-capacity rechargeable battery, the 338 can operate for about 17 hours in continuous mode. The sliding battery lid simplifies battery removal, and because it has variable voltage, it may also be used with a UK-US or UK-EU converter. Typically, this GPS can be purchased new for as low as $119.99 or used for around $38.00 (bottom price).

Why the Globalsat BT-338 stands out from the rest

With its petite, sophisticated design, the popular 338 is about the size of a small folding cell phone, the silver or black casing resembles a tiny wireless mouse, and it comes with a ceramic-patch antenna and 20-channel architecture. Next to the power button, its amber, green, and blue LEDs indicate battery power, connectivity, and Bluetooth activity for easy reading. The 338 can be kept in place on your car’s dashboard with two rubber bars, and it can also be powered by a 12 volt lighter-charging cord. Since it is intended to be handheld and picks up the GPS satellite signal so quickly, you may decide not to mount it at all. As another plus, the 338 can deliver cold-start operation (48 seconds), warm starts (38 seconds) and hot starts in an unbelievable one second.
