Royaltek Gps Bluetooth

• Very cheap

RoyalTek BlueGPS RBT 3000

Bluetooth GPS data logger — no screen, minimal indicator lights. I don't have any experience of another GPS, so I really like it.

Good things

• Massive memory capacity — apparently it stores over 30,000 records. I have used it for a few hours every day on holiday and after two weeks still had spare capacity. I think you can fit more records on if you reduce the type of info it logs (not the frequency but the detail; e.g., no altitude)
• Bluetooth connectivity, no need for cables
• Configuration software (Linux software too) allows you to change everything about logging, data correction, elevation masks, SBAS (I haven't tried all these options). The logging control is great, the frequency can be set to anything from 1 sec to many hours
• Linux driver to extract data (I have never managed to build this on Mac OS X); Gentoo Ebuilds for Linux driver and config tool

Bad things

• No Mac software!
• No indication of full memory (so I have to keep track and often get it wrong)
• Indicator lights are counter-intuitive — when the green led is lit constantly, it is not locked onto a GPS signal. When it is flashing it has locked on and is recording.
• Can't change the battery (built-in lithium ion). But I have opened it up and it would be easy to swap them if you had a spare.
• need very much time for GPS-look. It flashes the green light, but it hasn't locked. Be careful with tracking!
• software for download the datas works not satisfactorily under Linux and Windows-Pocket-PC (what's the problem?)
