I purchased this little gps receiver to use with my ipaq 2750 and Fugawi PathAway program...so far great....picks up gps signal well and interfacing with both the Ipac and the Fugawi program was easy....so far great...only thing I could recommend would be a protective cover for the compact flash card when not in use.Sonya

I've owned this GlobSat BC-337 for some time now. I used it with iGuidance mapping in an HP PDA HW6925. The configuration works "OK". I assume the PDA is not very fast so it is a bit quirky. The PDA will often hang. Many times the iGuiance software won't load and I need to reset the PDA. This is not an issue with the BC-337,however. In my opinion, if you want a GPS, get a TomTom or Garmin, something made for that specific purpose. Trying to get a PDA to be all things results in a device that does a lot of things marginally.I've used the BC-337 in my old HP nc6000 and this works great. Large screen! Now I recently upgraded to an HP 2710p tablet. The potential to use the BC-37 in this smaller tablet seemed like a great idea, unfortunately, the 2710p does not have a PCMCIA slot. It uses something called expresscard/54. I purchased an adapter that allows me to connect the BC-337 into this expresscard/54 slot. Unfortunately, this configuration does not recognize the BC-337. I assume I need some kind of driver to support this expresscard/54. I've sent multiple emails to the GlobalSac site and have yet to hear from them. If you are concerned about service, this lack of response should be a red flag. I think this card will find its way to my junk drawer.
