Title: Bluetooth GPS Receiver
#3
The battery is a flat Lithium Ion battery used in cell phones so it's common and easy to replace when necessary. It also works well connected with the provided mini-USB connector and shows up as a serial port - I tried to verify it worked but doubt I'll ever use it.

I find it satisfying when I get a piece of hardware or software that does just what I need with simple elegance.

To contrast and rant a bit I just returned a Garmin GPS 72H to Defender. It's supposed to be high sensitivity but it wouldn't even work inside next to a window. I tried to update it using Garmin's Updater and it hung. After an hour or so I finally unhooked it and then it wouldn't start up. Why can't a company with Garmin's resources ever get it right?
