I've used this reciever all over the United States. The Bluetooth works great. The BT-359C usually gets a fix in less than a minute. Works like a charm!... By Al on 12/29/2007 10:38:30 PM

I have been using this device for about 3 months in CA and it works great. In my house it gets 4 sats and has decent accuracy. The battery life is great and on a cold start it takes less than 15secs... By on 1/22/2008 5:12:51 PM

The GlobalSat BT-359 is the next generation Bluetooth GPS receiver. Our new top of the line Bluetooth GPS is both stylish and functional in true GlobalSat tradition. Taking its design criteria from the market leading BT-338 we have pushed the limits of GPS even further with greater sensitivity, more accuracy, and longer battery life than ever before.

The GlobalSat BT-359 contains the latest SiRFIII Low Power Chipset for high sensitivity. It communicates with Host Platforms (PDA, Laptop, and etc.) via Bluetooth Serial Port Profile. With Bluetooth version 2.0 and built-in ceramic patch antenna, the BT-359 provides faster acquisition times and improves accuracy in urban canyons and under dense foliage. It contains a replaceable battery with a large capacity, which enables the BT-359 to operate for up to 11 hours. A slide battery lid makes it easy to remove and replace the battery without the use of tools. It also supports WAAS and EGNOS for even greater accuracy.
