20-channel Bluetooth Wireless GPS Receiver with SiRF Star III Technology!
"Greater GPS accuracy and higher sensitivity achieved from integration
of the latest SiRF Star III chipset into portable, wireless design.
--Taipei, Taiwan – March 2005 – Globalsat one of the leading Taiwan manufacturer of
GPS engine boards, receivers and wireless Bluetooth accessories, has introduced it’s
newest wireless GPS receiver the BT-338. With Bluetooth fast becoming the
communication protocol of choice, because devices utilizing Bluetooth technology can
interface across multiple O/S platforms, the same device is extremely flexible as the can
be utilized with other host devices the user may already own. By purchasing a single
BT-338, a user is no longer limited into using the GPS receiver with a single Bluetooth
host device, but can pair the GPS with his PDA, laptop or even smartphone. Whether
the host device is running Windows, Mac, Palm, Pocket PC or Symbian, the BT-338 can
be used with each one individually, so there’s no need to purchase additional GPS units,
or adapter cables.
Supporting the NMEA data protocol output, the BT-338 can be used with just about any
mapping, navigation, marine, aviation or topo software on the market and with the
embedded Star III 20-channel chipset from SiRF, one of the leading manufacturer of
GPS chipsets, the Globalsat BT-338 provides a quicker Time-To-Fix (TTF) and higher
satellite sensitivity, that can translate into greater accuracy for your software
applications.
Longer Battery Time
The new BT-338 has a removable Li-ion battery that can operate continuously from a full
charge for over 15 hours.
Pricing and Availability
The BT-338 is currently available for purchase through many on-line resellers from
around the world including a list of North American dealers which can be found on
USGlobalsat’s website (www.usglobalsat.com
American sales, customer service and warehouse facility.
List price for the BT-338 is under $260, with a street pricing expected to be at around
$170. Popularity for GPS has exploded in the last few years because data for navigation
requires no subscription fees and the cost of GPS hardware is now so reasonably
priced. In addition, ease of use and a wide selection of so many new navigation
software titles (many which can guide you with turn-by-turn voice prompting driving
directions) continue to turn the GPS receiver into a driving necessity as opposed to an
accessory.
