Has anyone tried out this or similar units? Will the n800's software be able to make use of it? Sounds like a great deal if it works.

Great bargain... works out to $16.99 with the promo code, but I'm unable to find any info about it working with devices well. I did see something mentioned where an individual was not able to get it to work with their Symbian based machine, but otherwise the little information I searched for was pretty sparse.

Apparently one of their downloads (The RBT-2300 utility) is infected.

I've emailed them pointing them to the problem.

I've ordered from them for years and had no problems and I don't think it was intentional and may have been there from the vendor.

At least they have downloads on their site.

The GPS Unit that was on sale works awesome with MaemoMapper. I paid 21.99 including shipping for it.

The model number is: Amod ABG 108

The Amod ABG 108 GPS is still $19.99 (I don't know if my $19.95 was a typo).

It has the accuracy of WAAS and can bypass the n810 GPS not-locking quirks.

How were you able to pair the ABG 108 with the N800? I just got mine delivered today, and it won't pair up . Help!

Re: Semsons.com, $19.95 BT GPS, + 15% off + more
 
Doh! It works when you charge the battery! The N800 sees it and pairs up successfully. It works on Maemo mapper too. The ABG 108 seems to be a n affordable $20 gps solution.:)

TWY or anybody,
How did you get your n800 to pair up with the ABG 108. I get one of two messages: slowly, "pairing failed, device resources exceeded" or, quickly, "authentication failed."
Help, Please. Thanks in advance!

Re: Semsons.com, $19.95 BT GPS, + 15% off + more
 
The passcode is usually 0000 (occasionally 1234), so you might want to type that in. You might want to reboot and initiate the pairing on the n800.

They were out of boxed ABG 108's, but I picked up the same model as an open box item for $17.99 + S&H.

In my case "open box" mean they included everything and added a plug-in charger. :D

Of course, it's a european charger, so it isn't all that useful, but I thought that was rather funny...

Anyway -- the ABG 108 seems to work beautifully with my OS2006 770 and Maemo Mapper via the Maemo Bluetooth Connectivity Plugin.

A $20 GPS. Who'da thunkit? :D

Sorry for the late response. When I first got mine, I popped the battery right in and turned it on. The 3 lights came on and stayed lit so I assumed it was working. However, the n800 wouldn't even see it. So, I plugged it into my car adapter for 1 or 2 hours, and when I turned it on, the bluetooth and satellite lights were blinking appropriately (and brightly). Then the n800 recognized it right away. I enabled the bluetooth through maemomapper. I think the 0000 code was the default, because I don't believe I needed to enter it. Good Luck.

Another $20 GPS (Using the 51 ch MTK w/SBAS):
http://www.buygpsnow.com/AR-200-Blue...-Receiver.aspx
(the chip apparently can do 5Hz - it doesn't say it connects via USB). $5 shipping.

For $40, this one (same chip?) is advertised to do 5Hz:
http://www.buygpsnow.com/GlobalTop-G...-Off)_914.aspx

And semsons (still?) has:
