i-Blue PS-737 Bluetooth GPS Receiver: GPS all the way!

i-Blue PS-737 Bluetooth GPS Receiver Product PageI love GPS! I have one on my Dopod 838 Pro and it totally rocks. Never will I use a printed map ever again. Unless of course someone discharges an electro-magnetic pulse in my vicinity and all forms of electronic gadgetry are rendered useless. For those with GPS software on your PDA's you'll know that there is one other essential component to the set-up: the GPS receiver. We now have the i-Blue PS-737 Bluetooth GPS Receiver on our catalogue which has been receiving some great reviews. Read one here. Not surprising since it boasts a pretty good battery life along with some impressive start-up times. Oh, and if you happen to run the battery dry in one go (which you probably won't unless you're lazy like me and don't recharge things), you can easily get a spare as it uses the old Nokia BL-5C battery.

- GPS Protocol Default: National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA 0183 v3.01)
- Built-in and replaceable (Nokia BL-5C) Li-Ion battery with up to 25 hours use on one full charge.

    Hey Mark I have an 838pro too - what do I need to get it up and running with gps please

    Well you'll need two main ingredients:
    1. A bluetooth GPS receiver, like the i-Blue PS-737 and GPS software

    2. GPS software for Windows Mobile 5, such as the CoPilot Live 6 or Route 66 Navigate 7.

    There are some great reviews on software and receivers around the web. Great place to start is www.mtekk.com.au

    Once you have these two its just a matter of installing the software and pairing the receiver with your 838 Pro and you should be up in running (or driving).

    Is the Route 66 software that comes with the Nokia 6110 Navigator, compatible with the Dopod 838 pro?
