"So sensitive that it tracks up to 5 satellites in the basement/general parking garage! This Bluetooth-enabled device is an advanced, high-sensitivity; 20-channel GPS receiver that tracks your location where other receivers cannot! It has a fast time to first fix (TTFF) and a replaceable high-capacity battery (1700mAh) which enables the BT-338 to run for up to 17 hours." by Diane Dumas

March 31th - "The GlobalSat 338 is a really well thought out Bluetooth GPS receiver" by Jake Richards of AximSite.com
" I was amazed to see that it actually got a valid 3D lock in my basement, under a two story house. I've never seen any GPS, including Xtrac2 receivers, that could do that! This is a really hot receiver! Establishing the pairing was by the book, and the unit was discovered by the X50v with no troubles." by Jake Richards
March 30th - Out of the Blue - BT-338 Bluetooth GPS Receiver from GlobalSat by Doug Raeburn of Pocket PC Thoughts
"The GlobalSat BT-338 is the next step in the evolution of the Bluetooth GPS receiver. Its compact size, speed in acquiring satellites, high sensitivity and low power consumption make it the new benchmark among such devices. Yet the price is comparable to the previous generation competition. If you’re in the market, give the BT-338 a long hard look." by Doug Raeburn
