Navibe Bluetooth GPS Receiver
Model: GB337

My Review:

Well this is one of my best model of GPS receiver which I bought. It quickly picks up GPS fix and can be used on any ECDIS program on your computer. I was unable to try it my mobile phone as a GPS unit as most of the android phone are capable of GPS tracking (this will be discussed on my upcoming blog - How to use your android mobile  phone with GPS capabilities as your GPS for your ECDIS program.)

This unit  is user friendly, connecting and pairing it thru Bluetooth is very easy, no driver is needed and can be charge using any mini USB connection, plugged on a PC or on a separate USB charger.

USB to mini USB connector/charger

For those who are curious if this unit can be used using USB cable only with out any Bluetooth, you can't. The mini USB connection is used for charging only. However for those PC with out any built-in Bluetooth, you can buy any plug and play Bluetooth dongle compatible to your PC. Here in the Philippines you can buy it on any CD-R King shops http://www.cdrking.com/?mod=products&type=category&subcatid=595. It's so cheap but it works.
