Sometimes it does just seem to make stuff up, it might claim a lots of sats lock, it might claim HDOP of <1.0, but you look at the traces later and some/all of the track might be 100s of meters out.

Non replaceable battery, well, it's accessible, so if you can find one, you could replace it by opening it up.

when I want to use it the battery is flat.

A few times I'm guessing I've pressed the power button and accidentally switched it on, or it's not switched off after I've held the button down for what seems like ages.

Has a metal plate and built in magnets for dash mounting.

SiRF XTrak allows it to maintain signal in difficult conditions.

Can use some Kodak camera chargers to charge it.

Battery life seems to be 8+ hrs (not checked).

2 lights, blue/red = blue - bluetooth link, blue flashing - no bluetooth link, red - low battery, green = green flashing - GPS lock, sending NMEA data.Original (?) TomTom Bluetooth GPS receiver, supplied as part of the TomTom PDA kits. TomTom and PDA TomTom Wireless GPS (9821x) The smartphone has a 1GB SD card so I only have to care about battery life. I use the TomTom receiver with my Windows Mobile smartphone to log the tracks with the great shareware GPSDash program. Or you can also use the Bluetooth receiver as an external logger with some other device.
