Dave's iPAQ Reviews Earthmate Blue Logger GPS
Posted by Jonathon Watkins in "HARDWARE" @ 08:00 AM
Jack over at Dave's iPAQ has had a good look at the Earthmate Blue Logger GPS unit. It looks like he had a lot of fun with it:
So what have I been able to do with my Earthmate Blue Logger GPS?
1. I have created log files with my Blue Logger that I have easily been able to import to my device. Using these logs, I have created routes that I have saved for future use.
2. I have been able to create simple and complicated routes (both on my desktop and iPAQ) that have easily guided me to my destinations.
3. I have been able to create “specialized” maps of long trips to monitor my trip progress and guide me as I drive.
4. I’ve used Blue Logger to locate where I am while hiking.
5. I have looked for and found streets or places using a powerful FIND feature.
The review is solid three pages worth of screenshots and impressions. At the end of it, Jack is extremely, or possibly even exceptionally impressed with the unit. If you've always wanted a bright yellow Bluetooth GPS unit, you know where to look. :wink:
