RoyalTek BT GPS x-mini RBT-2100. Same as RBT 1000, but this one has a SiRFstarIII chip. Replacable LiIon battery (Nokia compatible). RoyalTek GPS Group Test: 19th June 2008. The 3800 is Windows Only so the first issue encountered was installing the driver and data download software.

9th October 2003 Introduction Bluetooth GPS Receivers are becoming ever more popular for the Pocket PC, RoyalTek have several GPS Receivers available in the cable form, but this is their first Bluetooth GPS Receiver to hit the market. RoyalTek have taken the simple approach and named the new GPS BlueGPS! The BlueGPS is unique as it it's not just a GPS Receiver, but a data logger which will support more than 30,000 records for download, great for checking where you've been.

The BlueGPS comes with a built-in lithium-ion battery that supports up to 10 hours of use under optimum conditions and has an improved life cycle of 500 charges which is around 100 greater than previous Bluetooth GPS Receivers we have reviewed. Bearing in mind that 500 charges isn't the entire life span of the battery, it's just that after 500 charges, the battery performance will start to degrade somewhat. What's in the box You'll find the BlueGPS with an in-car charger cable to either power or charge the BlueGPS, a CD with applications for the Pocket PC, applications and drivers for Windows 98/ME and Windows 2000/XP. For the Pocket PC no drivers were needed.

Gowin Deluxe 2011 Serial Season on this page. No mains adaptor is supplied with the BlueGPS, but there is an optional charger available from RoyalTek through their distributor's and retailers which will allow you to charge the GPS at home/work. If you're using this for primarily in-car use, then having an in-car charger cable is ideal for long trips where the battery may run out, but most people tend to use Bluetooth GPS Receivers for out walking, hiking, and cycling. In these conditions, you very rarely have access to a car, and this means that if when you get back to your guesthouse, hotel or home, you can't charge the BlueGPS because you don't have a charger for it. The charger socket is a small socket, and the regular Pocket PC chargers will not fit the socket, so if you need to use this outside of the car, you'll need to purchase the mains charger. The BlueGPS isn't as small as some Bluetooth GPS Receivers like the Emtac/TomTom BT GPS, but it's not the largest either.

As in the name, the Receiver is blue (although it does come in a silver colour too), it sports an external antenna socket (external patch antenna not supplied), a charger socket, and an on/off switch. Like with most Bluetooth GPS Receivers, you'll see 3 lights, Bluetooth Status LED, GPS Status LED, Battery Status LED. The BlueGPS doesn't come with a passkey, so there's no need to bond this to your Pocket PC. We've seen a move towards removing passkeys which although they're good for security, once you're talking to the device, nobody can steal your connection, so in most cases a passkey is of little use when using GPS.

The external antenna socket is an MCX socket, so any MCX patch antennas should work in here if you need them. LED Lights The three lights will have different meanings. The Bluetooth light will flash when Bluetooth is connected.
