Product Description
The GPSlim 240 proves that you don't need size to achieve power!
Measuring only 64mm long x 22mm wide and 15mm deep youll be hard pushed to find a smaller GPS that can out perform the latest creation from Holux.
It is small enough to sit comfortably in your pocket alongside your mobile phone or PDA. With a built in rechargable battery the HoluxGPSlim240 provides enough power to last for a full days walking should you decide to take it into the hills. On returning to your car you can recharge it using the in car adaptor to ensure you return safely home.
It communicates with other electronic utilities via Bluetooth, USB-compliant interface, and has a built-in rechargeable battery to save such satellite data as the status of satellite signal, the last location, and date and time of previous use. With low power consumption, GPSlim240 tracks up to 20 satellites at a time, re-acquires the satellite signal every tenth of a second and updates position data once a second. The power saving mode (Trickle-Power) allows the unit to operate a fraction of the time. It also provides a time and position fix function (Push-to-Fix) that will switch on the unit at a designated time, even when the receiver stays off.

 good design but quality way too bad August 18, 2008
Jianli Cheng (NJ, USA)
it is really a great product when it is brand new. BUt problems come out after a period of time. The cigarette charger was defective at the time it arrived. The batter died after 11 months so you have to connect it to either the computer or a outlet for power for it to be working.
I rarely used it, only about 10 times in the 11 months. The worst thing is tha its warranty worthes nothing. Not even an address is provided for your to get it fixed. And its manufacturer's website lists address out of US, no response to email request. You are then in the desert, hopeless.
think about it before you buy products from Holux. You'd better get one from a local manufacturer.
 Works as advertised August 14, 2008

Very sensitive receiver and quickly paired with my verizon samsung i760.
Nice small size you can keep it in your pocket while driving around and it still works great.

Holux GPS Receiver April 6, 2008

I have an HTC Touch and until the gps update comes out I needed a gps receiver. I picked the Holux GPSlim 240 becasue of price and other reviews on amazon. I was able to connect the receiver to my phone with no problems and so far (over a month) I have had no problems. The only issue I have found (not the receivers fault)is that while using the BT Receiver I can't use my BT Headset. I think you might need some type of hub or router to use both. Because of this if you use a service like TeleNav you can't hear your directions via your headset. I'm sure this is an issue that will be the same with any BT Receiver connected via BT.
Got it. Worked for about 9 months. April 1, 2008

I got this for Christmas of '07, for use with the TOM TOM PDA for my business travel and BeeLine software for Geocaching on my Ipaq RX3715. Initally it worked great. However, when it gets warm, it looses it's bluetooth connection. Now when I mean warm, I mean, 70 degrees.
I live in Minnesota, and yes, it does get above 70 here. So having a device that stops working when the car (finally) gets warm is less than ideal.
Now I suspect that when it stops broadcasting bluetooth, it's still tracking sat. data, as the sat light continues to blink, but that just makes it fustrating.
The manual has a warning on high temperatures, as I recall.
I'm shopping for something a more reliable, and will go to something with replacable batteries.
