The bluetooth blue LED doesn't light up, or stays continuously on, instead of flashing intermittently as it's supposed to. Additionaly, the battery is sensitive to heat. I've had this gps receiver for over two years. If I restart the unit several times, I can sometimes get it to work. I left it on the dash for a couple of days once, and the battery swelled up, and I could not close the battery lid since.I'm definitely not buying this unit again. It worked well for about a year. Now the bluetooth transmitter in it doesn't work, and I cannot connect or pair any of my devices with it.
I mean if you forget to turn the antenna off when you get out your car you risk to down the battery. It works great and I found it having a better signal reception than the TOMTOM original antenna I have.The only shortcome is that the antenna doesn't turn itself off automotically when it doesn't receive any blutooth signal after a certain period of time.
Many people seem to have this problem and Holux support is non existent. Such a promising device. Worked great with Google Maps on my Blackberry right until the Bluetooth stopped working.
It initializes quickly and always has enough satellite coverage to find my location. It has been thrown from my dash more than once [during spirited driving] and it still didn't lose its signal. I purchased the Holux GPSlim 236 almost two years ago and it still works perfectly. This poor gps receiver has been ABUSED and never gives up. All in all, one of the better tech purchases I have made. I use it [along with iNav iGuidance software] daily and have never had a moments problem. It sits on the dash of my car all day, every day and continues to amaze me with its performance.
This works perfect with my XV6700 and the battery on it lats for ever.This is worth it, you should buy this if you need a GPS recever
