Compared to other bluetooth receivers I've used, this is the most usable unit with the longest lasting battery life.

From the product description and the documentation found on the web this Sony bluetooth receiver sounds like a unit that only works with Sony devices, but that isn't the case. The receiver is actually a standard bluetooth GPS receiver that will work with any PC, PocketPC, or smartphone that support bluetooth and the serial port profile.

The device has a built in battery and comes with a power adapter for charging that happens to be almost identical to the adapter for the Sony PSP. There are three lights on the unit; power, bluetooth, and GPS. These lights are enough to let you know when the adapter is on, when the batter is low (the power indicator changes color depending on battery status), when a bluetooth device has successfully connected to the receiver, and when the receiver has a fix on some satellites.

The battery in this unit last longer than other bluetooth receivers that I've used. It's rated at 10 hours of operation in best conditions. And the unit comes with a secure yet easy to remove belt clip for securing the device if you need to walk while using it. The underside of the receiver is ruberized preventing the receiver from sliding around in the car when it is placed on the dashboard.

This GPS receiver works great with my Sony UX-380N. Easy set up. Great combination (UX Series micro PC and GPS receiver) when used in my vehicle (or rental) or walking about while traveling.

I used this for a long time. I bought a droid and no longer use it. It worked really well sincing was easy. It was nice for gps programs on the computer. It never went dead on me. I traveled a lot when using it and the computer offered so many more uses like tracking trips, distance, comparing routes traveled. It offered a lot more then tom tom but just seemed bulky with computer.
