This reciever can link up with almost any Bluetooth enabled device such as Smartphones and many laptops.

TC Review: Navible GB735 Bluetooth GPS Receiver

Reviewed by Justin DeJarnette

The Navibe GPS receiver comes packaged with a rechargeable, removable (and therefore, user-replaceable) lithium-ion battery, a USB-to-mini-USB cable, car charger and AC adapter for charging, a wrist strap, and a CD with the manual and drivers for pairing the receiver with a computer. Hopefully, most people who buy this unit will have some experience pairing Bluetooth devices, because the instructions are terribly scant. In fact, the only pairing procedure to be found is for �Pocket PCs�; no mention of Palm devices. Luckily, the device is in �pairing mode� as soon as you turn it on, making it simple to find within the PalmOS pairing interface.

The unit is small enough that it can be stored just about anywhere comfortably, such as in a car console or in a pocket or purse for walking around. It�s nice to the touch, made from that rubberized plastic that everyone seems to be using nowadays. It also has rubber padded feet, which will keep the unit somewhat in place on a flat dashboard.

Also notice that the unit does not come packaged with any type of mapping software, so you�ll have to supply that yourself. There are many applications that will work, depending on the type of smartphone/PDA you are using or what type of PC software you prefer.

The biggest attraction to this unit is that it incorporates SiRFstarIII technology which, as I understand these things, is designed to link up to satellites quicker and not depend on a direct view of the sky like the older models. In fact, the SiRFstarIII chipmakers claim that the GPS unit can be stored away, in a glove compartment, for example, and still maintain a connection with the satellite. I had mixed results.

First, the Navibe unit connects in minutes, not seconds. I haven�t seen any discernible difference between the time it took my old Palm-branded unit to find my location and the time it takes for the Navibe unit to find me. On average, it has taken at least two, and sometimes as many as three or four minutes before I have a signal. This is more than a slight detail. When you already know the general direction of where it is you�re going, you can start along your way and let the GPS unit find the satellite(s). But when you don�t know what those first few turns are to be, or if you run into traffic and want to hop off at the next exit, it would be nice to connect in seconds rather than minutes. The Navibe website claims that the GB735 can find a signal in no more than 42 seconds on a clear day. I never found this to be true. Never once, in about 3 weeks of using this unit, did it take less than 2 minutes to connect. No matter when, where, how, or why.

This GPS receiver will not pair with my Treo700wx and there is no documentation either in the box or on their website that states how to pair this device with Windows Mobile.
