User Reviews about Globalsat BT-359 - GPS receiver module

I haven't spent long using the product, but the experience has thus far been a good one. Very precise. Quite easy to set up. And I was getting nine satellites. Yes, a good buy... -- Good Buy
Love it! Every aspect about it is great!

Won't work with iPhone unless you jailbreak and use roqyBT or similar (allows you to use it with any gps program). -- Love it
First, I'm using the BT-359 with a BB Curve 8330 on the Verizon network. This was initially purchased so I could avoid Verizon's monthly fee for VZNav, which I have tried and didn't like (regardless of price). I was a little surprised upon opening the box and reading that the BT-359 was an AT&T product made for AT&T phones. No worries, the unit pairs up effortlessly with the Curve. It doesn't hold a fix in Google Maps but it DOES hold a fix in every other app I've tried: Blackstar, Bing, Trapster. Based on that it seems to be a Google Maps issue rather than that of the Globalsat product. I'll be testing more as time allows. The accuracy is nearly as good as my Garmin Etrex Legend HCX handheld, which I use on a weekly basis for geocaching. The only thing left to do is find a free (or inexpensive, one-time fee) app for the audible turn-by-turn directions.

Bonus: The transaction was easy and the item was shipped immediately, arriving only three business days later. -- Excellent Buy for Verizon BB Customers
I am using this reciever with an IPAQ 111 Handheld PC.

The receiver quickly acquires a fix of GPS satellites "in view."

My aim in buying BT-359 and the IPAQ was to get a GPS experience like units sold everywhere (in various price ranges), but to also have the many capabilities of a handheld PC. A smartphone was an alternative to this set up, but would have cost an extra $360 per year.

The experience you will have with any GPS receiver and its usefullness to you will depend on the software it interfaces with. I spent a lot of time searching for handheld PC GPS software (my wife will say the same). Bought one and was disappointed that it required routing on a PC to ensure required maps were loaded to create a continuous route. Performance was poor and routes were shown in 2D.

A mapping software I've been very happy with is CoPilot Live 8. This software "found" my GPS receiver automatically without having first to "pair" the device with my IPAQ. This software, with this hardware, provides what I wanted in the first place, a GPS reciever that can create a route from my house in MD to the San Diego (CA) Zoo (done just as an experiment) and that will provide spoken turn by turn directions (US man or UK woman) while displaying the route in 3D.

The BT-359 performs flawlessly and is compact. The price of this rather incredible technology is very low as well. I recommend this hardware. -- Excellent Unit - Low price and great performance
I purchased this to work with my mobile phone, a Nokia 3720, which has maps on board but no GPS receiver. It works superbly & cold boots in under a minute. I'm very pleased with it! -- GPS to go
