I got this for use with TomTom on my treo 755P in rental cars and the like. The unit grabbed satellites pretty quickly and wasnt too difficult to connect via Bluetooth. It is accurate.
The problem is that the USB outlet does NOT charge my phone while connected via a synch cable. So, its a matter of a short drive before the battery is sucked dry. Its a deal-breaker for me.
I have not yet attempted to return the device, maybe a new one wont have the same problem.
Compact, pretty, doesn't work

Pros:
Pretty lights
Cons:
No support, poor documentation, unable to connect
This device shows great promise but fails to deliver. I was unable to get the device to connect to my Treo 700W. The device appears on the Bluetooth display on my Treo with a "?" icon after pairing with the passcode, but the BT connection light on the device kept flashing (search mode).
Virtual Earth was never able to get any GPS data regardless of the COM port setting I tried.
