I have to admit that my first Clip-on was faulty (no bluetooth light), but the second one I got is great. The battery seems to be lasting for the prescribed 8hrs and I am getting 4-6 sats indoors (unit by a window) and 6-9 out on the road. :D
I haven't tried XT mode yet, but as soon as I find myself in London I will  |

| Love the Clipon. No problems, fast fix, 4-5 sat fix in the middle of my house. I occassionally get a fix inside stores. Comes with a lot of accessories. Batery life is very good. Also, it works well with my 2215. I just wish my 2215 batery lasted longer. I only get 4 hours of on time with the BT running. |

How detailed are the maps? If I have a street adress like this one. Wilcox road, london. May I put it in and make a route to it? Its a great fishing shop at wilcox road in London. or a few minits outside. ;) |
