• WondeX BT-100Y Bluetooth GPS Receiver review

  Source: PocketGPSWorld.com  WondeX BT-100Y Bluetooth GPS Receiver review  Review by Lutz Bendlin Introduction Bluetooth GPS receivers are now pretty solid and reliable devices, with SiRF III or MTK chipsets and long battery runtimes. So manufacturers are trying to come up with other USP (unique selling points) that supposedly make one receiver better than all the others. BuyGPSNow have asked us to review their latest example for that, the WondeX BT-100Y Bluetooth GPS Receiver. It adds A-GPS (assisted GPS) and a motion sensor to the feature list, as well as a 44 channel chipset. Let's see how this receiver compares to the rest of the pack. The first impression of the case is rather underwhelming - it looks like a cross between an iPhone and a soap box. One thing that I explicitly dislike is the blunt marketing message "GPS Bluetooth" on top. I rather like cases that do not immediately give away what the device is for, so that you can leave the unit on the dashboard of the car at least for a little while without lowlife understanding straight away what it is.

But, if it did not work out well, I had several other backups to bail me out. The question in my mind was whether it would still be on my dashboard at the end of the trip. It would not be the first unit that I've retired a GPS unit early. When I took it out of the box, I was impressed in many ways... Read the complete review here.

• Just Mobile Bluetooth Car Kit Speaker Review

  Just Mobile Bluetooth Car Kit Speaker   By Tim Hillebrand   With more and more states passing laws forbidding the use of mobile phones while driving, car kits are a desirable necessity. Even if your state has not yet passed such a law, it is a good idea to equip yourself with a hands-free device for driving safety. It sends cold chills up my spine to see mothers with a car full of kids yakking away on the phone oblivious to traffic.   Read the complete review here.
