[gps-talkusers] Re: Bluetooth GPS receiver for MPower

Hi Ken,

Yes, the Holux slim 236 is a wireless receiver.  I've had good luck with
mine for the most part.  It is very sensitive and doesn't have 
WAAZ enabled by default, but overall, I much prefer it to the serial
receiver I used before.
Best Regards,

Les
