Acceptable accuracy, updated softwareSep 03, 2005
By Florentin Dartu
We used to have the Belkin Bluetooth GPS but it broke down. The main disadvantages for the Belkin one was the lack of sufficient points of interest (shops, restaurants, etc.) in our area (Portland, OR) and the inaccuracies in the GPS locations (10-30 feet off).

The IOGEAR Bluetooth GPS has a major advantage over the Belkin one: it has the same software but un updated version that significantly improves the number of pints of interests (POI). The positioning inaccuracies remain and it is bulkier (although with better batery life).

On the overall usage:

- it works fine with the Dell X30 that we have, connection is smooth, not that difficult to setup the first time

- the software has voice guidance so you don't have to keep an eye on it. It doesn't spell the names of the streets except when the names are actually numbers.

- on our PDA the rerouting if you missed a turn or an exit is very fast (much faster than on dedicated Garmin or Magellan GPS gizmos)

- another advantage over the dedicated solutions: you can use the addresses associated with your contacts to setup a route

It works on DELL AXIM!!Jul 13, 2005
By Anthony D. "A-D"
The previous post is mistaken this unit with a different (discontinued) IOGEAR product. The IOGEAR GBGPS201 DOES work with DELL AXIM and other PDAs running Windows Mobile 2003!

I have successfully tested and used this IOGEAR GPS with DELL AXIM X30, and AXIM X50.

Great BT GPS and Software Combo...May 22, 2005
By N. Livadas
This combo has very decent software to compliment a LiIon battery powered BT receiver (22 hrs per charge). The software is by Deluo (iGuidance is another known name for it) and is up to date as of 2004. The interface is seamless, the installtion a breeze, and the receiver reception fast (15-20secs). At $180 here at Amazon, with an additional $30 off rebate untill August 2005, you cannot go wrong (plus you have iogear to support this vs. some no-name comany).

The GPS receiver I found also works with Maptech's topographical GPS Maps ($20) if you want to use it on your offroad adventures. Recently took it on a 3 day hunting trip and Maptech's software did wonderfully in the great wilderness...

Superior Battery Life and Ease of Use.Aug 16, 2005
By John M. Krumenacker
I have suffered through many bad GPS units to go with my PDAs over the years and this one by far is the best i have had. The battery life truly lives up to the claims. The unit charges up and you are ready to go. As long as you are sure to turn it off between uses it lasts and lasts. The unit usually always attains staelites quickly and holds them. The accuracy of this unit is unparalleled to anything I have used in the past. The only downfall, software is a little basic and leaves something to be desired.

Software is better than the hardwareAug 09, 2005
By Michael J. Scott "Tech Guy"
I recently purchased the IOGear GBGPS201 and used it on a trip from California to Missouri. The software worked great. It happens to be the same as IGuidance. The GPS receiver on the other hand worked ok. It worked great in the city but when I was on a highway where there was an access road running parallel, it often thought I was on the access road and kept trying to get me back on the highway.

I tried using a Holux GPS receiver with the software provided by IOGear but kept getting a message saying that it could not find an IOGear GPS receiver. I questioned IOGear tech support and they had no idea if the software was changed to only work with their receiver or not.

Overall, it is worth the price but it would work much better if the receiver could see more than 8 satellites.
