+Cache Heads Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hey everybody! I was looking in the GlobalSat BT338 v3.1.1 WAAS Enabled Bluetooth GPS BT-338 any suggestion? Any help is much appreciated. I love mine. I use it with TomTom Navigator 5 on my Treo to get me from cache to cache. I also use it with CacheMate and CacheNav as a backup to the CSx-- very accurate and great reception Quote Link to comment
kerecsen Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hey everybody! I was looking in the GlobalSat BT338 v3.1.1 WAAS Enabled Bluetooth GPS BT-338 any suggestion? Any help is much appreciated. It is widely regarded as one of the two best choices in its class. I have the Holux 236, because I wanted a mini-USB charging port so I don't have to drag a charger around with me (plus my phone has a min-USB too). The big advantage of the GlobalSat is the longer battery life and the auto-off functionality (which can be a blessing or a curse, depending on how you use your GPS ). Quote Link to comment
+Steel City Seekers Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Hey everybody! I was looking in the GlobalSat BT338 v3.1.1 WAAS Enabled Bluetooth GPS BT-338 any suggestion? Any help is much appreciated. The BT338 is a very popular receiver, and many people have good things to say about it. The Holux is also very popular. There are a few more that have good reviews. In fact, there are many receivers available, and I haven't read many negative things about any of them. I'd recommend getting one with the SirfIII chip. If for no other reason, they seem to have very fast acquisition times -- my Haicom acquires a fix in matter of moments from turning it on. My older SirfII takes longer, and it kinda stinks to sit in the car waiting for the receiver to get its fix when you want to leave. Start here to find a 10 percent discount on your BT338 (or any other receiver): http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=128225 Then go here to use your discount: http://www.buygpsnow.com/bluetooth-gps_9.html Quote Link to comment
+josh16 Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) Any places to buy the BT338 v3.1.1 WAAS Enabled Bluetooth GPS in Canada? I would like to buy it from a Canadian store or website so I don’t have to pay duties. Edited July 4, 2006 by josh16 Quote Link to comment
+Steel City Seekers Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Well, a couple of Google searches turned up: http://www.canadagps.com/bluetoothgps.html http://www.expansys.ca/product.asp?code=122496 Both of these sites listed it at about $144. If I recall correctly, buygpsnow listed it at $110 BEFORE the 10 percent discount link I also gave you. I don't know what your duties cost, but you can figure that out for yourself. Or, you could try some more Google searches as I didn't go too far down the list. The canadagps.com site advertised free shipping, so that might be a plus. I don't recall whether buygpsnow offered free shipping or not. Keep in mind that buygpsnow also offers a free vent mount. These aren't the greatest mounts in the world, but they do get the job done and they're rather nice to take along if you travel a lot because they don't take too much room in the bag. They also can be fairly easily placed and removed from a rental car. Since I sound like a fanboy for the company, I have to say that I am in no way affiliated with buygpsnow, however, they along with semsons.com have always had by far the best prices on PDA-related gps receivers. I didn't check, but would expect that the 10 percent discount would put buygpsnow below semsons. I have also had some pretty good experiences with buygpsnow. I had to return my newest Haicom when it was faulty. They quickly replaced with no questions asked. Quote Link to comment
+Steel City Seekers Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 Oh, well, maybe it's not as close as I thought. I just saw this: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=122222 It looks like the price would be pretty close, but I guess you have to figure it out for yourself. You might want to Private Message (on Aximsite) some of the people from the above post with regard to costs. Quote Link to comment
