Other Comments: Easy to use. Worked right away with bluetooth & 770. Seems to have good battery life. Comes with both wall and car adapter. Documentation stinks, doesn't do a real good job with explaining the flashing LED's, but not to hard to guess what they mean. Battery isn't replaceable through. Great price at newegg.

Takes about 30 seconds (or less) to fix with maemo mapper.
runs on 3 aaa batteries or its battery pack that fits in the battery compartment.
Works flawlessly all over, even in the woods if it can see sky.
I am elated with the unit; I got the package (with stupid software and cool usb adaptor) for like 70 bucks at Fry's.

Another vote for this excellent piece of kit. It worked first time, locks on to satellites within 5 seconds and even works indoors. I have no trouble placing this in a secure, hidden part of my car.
This receiver is £40 (GBP), has anyone tried it with Maemo Mapper?
I purchased one of these devices from www.mobilefun.co.uk and it was delivered within 24 hours. the device is instantly recognised by btplugin and maemo-mapper and works really well. Simple & inexpensive GPS option for the 770. Just waiting for flite to be ported to OS2006 so I can use it for car journeys. Also works fine with Nokia N70 phone (tested it with Wayfinder & Nav4All sofware).
