Holux gpslim 240 bluetooth gps receiver review

Looking at the holux gpslim 240 bluetooth gps receiver, you won’t believe the size, like a small candy bar.  The dimensions are 64 by 22 by 15 mm, extremely compact you can hang it round your neck and still look fashionable.

it comes with a sirf 3 chipset hence it is so sensitive, with the sirf III chipset gps receivers, you should expect a high degree of sensitivity as standard.  The chipset it uses is of a low power hence the battery is very small to accomodate the size.  Unfortunately the gpslim240 bluetooth gps receiver is not user replaceable as this is of a unique kind.  The run time is about 8 hours.

it has an on-off switch .  It also has three leds,an orange one that blinks when it has a fix, the blue one for bluetooth and red one that comes on when the battery power is slow.  It is chjarged by a standard mini usb connector. There is a tendency for the device to get dirty easily because of the shiny surface.
Note this has no socket for an external gps antennae but you wouldn’t miss it because of the sensitivity of the unit. Read more
