Holux GPSlim 240 Bluetooth GPS Receiver

The GPSlim 240 proves that you don't need size to achieve power!

Measuring only 64mm long x 22mm wide and 15mm deep youll be hard pushed to find a smaller GPS that can out perform the latest creation from Holux.

It is small enough to sit comfortably in your pocket alongside your mobile phone or PDA. With a built in rechargable battery the HoluxGPSlim240 provides enough power to last for a full days walking should you decide to take it into the hills. On returning to your car you can recharge it using the in car adaptor to ensure you return safely home.

It communicates with other electronic utilities via Bluetooth, USB-compliant interface, and has a built-in rechargeable battery to save such satellite data as the status of satellite signal, the last location, and date and time of previous use. With low power consumption, GPSlim240 tracks up to 20 satellites at a time, re-acquires the satellite signal every tenth of a second and updates position data once a second. The power saving mode (Trickle-Power) allows the unit to operate a fraction of the time. It also provides a time and position fix function (Push-to-Fix) that will switch on the unit at a designated time, even when the receiver stays off.

Customer Review: Holux GPS Receiver
I have an HTC Touch and until the gps update comes out I needed a gps receiver. I picked the Holux GPSlim 240 becasue of price and other reviews on amazon. I was able to connect the receiver to my phone with no problems and so far (over a month) I have had no problems. The only issue I have found (not the receivers fault)is that while using the BT Receiver I can't use my BT Headset. I think you might need some type of hub or router to use both. Because of this if you use a service like TeleNav you can't hear your directions via your headset. I'm sure this is an issue that will be the same with any BT Receiver connected via BT.
Customer Review: Got it. Worked for about 9 months.
I got this for Christmas of '07, for use with the TOM TOM PDA for my business travel and BeeLine software for Geocaching on my Ipaq RX3715. Initally it worked great. However, when it gets warm, it looses it's bluetooth connection. Now when I mean warm, I mean, 70 degrees. I live in Minnesota, and yes, it does get above 70 here. So having a device that stops working when the car (finally) gets warm is less than ideal. Now I suspect that when it stops broadcasting bluetooth, it's still tracking sat. data, as the sat light continues to blink, but that just makes it fustrating. The manual has a warning on high temperatures, as I recall. I'm shopping for something a more reliable, and will go to something with replacable batteries.

The true joy of the motorhome experience is the blend of roughing it with the enjoyment of the comforts of home. With a motorhome Winegard Satellite receiver, your favorite show is part of the experience.

The Winegard Sensar III Batwing motorhome antenna is the most popular motorhome antenna on the market today. It was first developed by the Winegard Company in the early 1970's for use in motorhomes for reception of television signals. In recent years, Winegard has been a leader in technological advances that have brought not only television to motorhome users, but also full satellite TV reception.

The Winegard Satellite systems use GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) technology to provide satellite TV reception to your motorhome both when parked and also when moving. The systems use the GPS to keep the antenna directed toward the nearest satellites when the motorhome is in motion providing reception to your passengers. The in motion satellite receivers are small domed units that fit easily on the top of the motorhome.

The MV-2222 Winegard In Motion Satellite Reception system is the top of the line in this mobile technology. At a cost of just over two thousand dollars, it brings both Dish Network and Direct TV satellite semotorhomeice to your motorhome. The system is simple to operate with not much more than an on/off button. It has the ability to handle to separate signals at the same time, so that a family can be watching two shows on two different TV's at the same time. This is the ideal situation for the larger family.

Although the GPS controlled in motion systems represent state of the art, there are a wide variety of other options for the motorhome owner. Winegard makes small dish type satellite receivers that can be mounted when the vehicle is parked. These antennas are relatively inexpensive and they are not difficult to mount and tune for satellite reception. In most cases, the only information that you need is the local Zip Code where you are parked to tune the antenna.

The attraction of the motorhome experience for many people is the ability to bring the comforts of home on the road. Television plays an important role in informing and entertaining people in today's society and there is no reason to be without it while on the road in your motorhome. The Winegard Satellite antennas have recently entered the High Definition reception arena as well. Their product line should include the ideal system for your motorhome and your personal requirements.
