TC Review: HAiCOM Hi-407BT GPS Receiver
Reviewed by Annie Latham
Recently I gave the HAiCOM Hi-407BT GPS Receiver a try. What intrigued me was its smart design. The folks at HAiCOM combined a car charger with the GPS receiver in a hinged, compact device that would “talk” to my Centro wirelessly, via Bluetooth. This looked like it would be a perfect solution for bouncing around in my Jeep.

There was only one hitch. No software was included. So I quickly did some research and found that TeleNav received high marks in the Palm OS community. I got myself a trial account and was off and running.

I wasn’t kidding when I said it was a GPS receiver and a car charger connected by a hinge.
It felt absolutely solid and sturdy to me. The hinge was a brilliant idea because you can adjust this receiver to fit your vehicle’s cigarette lighter outlet. If you want, you can set it flat. Or you can opt for a 45-degree angle (which is what I did). It also folds shut, like a clamshell phone for storage.

First of all, the only thing you need to do on the Centro side is turn on your Bluetooth. That’s it. Don’t try going through the whole “find nearby device” procedure because it isn’t necessary (at least, it wasn’t for me with TeleNav).

Plug in your HAiCOM and make sure outlet is getting power (either vehicle turned on or your ignition turned to accessory mode so your stereo can play).

Before you can count to two, you’ll be connected. Seriously!

StarStarStarStarStar Mine didnt charge my Treo 755P
User: George Fallar, Jan 9, 2008
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.
StarStarStarStarStar Compact, pretty, doesn't work
User: Nicolas Wang, Oct 18, 2006

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.

Save your money.
