San Jose (or SA Nav as they are better known as) have brought out their first Bluetooth GPS to market. The new version is dubbed the BT-48. I'm amazed at how small these GPS's are becoming even when they are cram packed with wireless capabilities.

The BT-48 is a about 1cm smaller in length compared to the Fortuna Clip-On, spray painted in a silver metallic look and runs off of 3xAAA batteries.

The full review can be read here.

I would like to know what happens when the BT connection is ended by turning off the PDA. Does it reset and allow you to reconnect without power cycling? I currently have a Holux GR230 which has to be power cycled when the BT connection is dropped. This is annoying when out walking and you don't want the PDA on all the time.

Dave,

Do you know when this unit is going on sale in the UK, and who the dealer(s) will be?

I've emailed the manufacturer but have not had a reply as yet.

Many Thanks!

You may recall back in April 2004 we reviewed a pre-production BT-48 GPS Receiver from San Jose. The GPS Receiver is now in full production and San Jose have sent us a post-production sample. The GPS in itself has changed quite a bit, mainly the finishing and colour are much better. Although it doesn't look as colourful in terms of that silver, the finish is much better to the exterior and all my initial fears are gone.

This review now caters for the post-production model. If you want to still read the pre-production review to see what has changed, click here.

The full review is available here.

I did notice in the early firmware that the BT-48 although it was on the dashboard with a clear view of the sky would sometimes lose satellite fix and drop below a 3D fix, but the re-acquisition was less than a second so this really wasn't a problem, but did set off the alarm in the software I was using to tell you that you had lost a fix. San Jose will have this rectified in the production units.


I have bought this one gps day 22-Nov-2004 in http://www.routeplanners.co.uk
