QStarz recently announced the new Bluetooth GPS receiver, BT-Q818 eXtreme, which they claim is world’s most powerful. Features of the device are pretty impressive and include 51-Channel Performance tracking for fast acquisition and reacquisition, low power consumption that enable up to 32 hours of use, fast position fix (cold start 39s, warm start 36s, hot start 1s), WAAS+EGNOS support, and auto on/off function. According to Navigadget, what makes the difference is the adjustable update rate which can be somewhere between 1 and 5Hz, making the device suitable for application where timing is crucial.
The QStarz BT-Q818 already won several awards from few of the industry publications. For instance, PocketNavigation.de said the Bluetooth GPS receiver provides users with “very high sensitivity and accuracy, long running time as well,” while Spanish Pcedmano.com rated the device with 9.5 out of 10 points… More information is available on QStarz’s website.
