[gps-talkusers] e: Re: e: Comparison of Holux vs. EarthMate

Alice,
Yes, the Holux is a bluetooth receiver, there is actually two bluetooth receivers currently available; the one that has been out for a longer time period is the EarthMate and the newer one is the Holux.

And, yes, it is possible to create a route in virtual mode and review it, then go into GPS mode and use the same destination, but instead of starting from your virtual position, you will start from you GPS position. I am not sure what you might of done wrong, but some things I would suggest is to make sure your receiver is on, you have a fix, and you are in GPS mode rather than virtual mode.
Well, I hope these suggestions help.
Kevin

Is the Holux the bluetooth one?
I did figure out my POI problem. In the options, it is not
saying the
right folder. I've changed it, but every time I open the GPS, I
have to
change it again.
If I set a destination in real mode, not virtual, and then I
start
walking, can I go some other route and will the GPS still tell
me, turn
here, turn there? I could not get that to work. When I created a
virtual
route from home, or at least what was serving as home, I had some
trouble
figuring out when to turn. The waypoints were announced, but not
which way
to turn, and if I turned wrong or did not turn at all, it did not
tell me
nor did it correct for it, in other words, calculate the route
differently
to take my mistake into account. What did I do wrong? I have not
had this in 
the past, but maybe because I was doing things differently.

Hello Kevin,
I am very happy with the holux.
I had the earthmate, and I find the switch on the holux much
easier, and I 
get 11 to 12 satellites when traveling on a bus.
So I would definately recomend the Holux.
Robert

Dear Listers,
I have a question for users who used the EarthMate GPS reciever,
then switched to the Holux reciever. I have heard that there is
a great
deal of difference with the ease of turning the reciever on and
off, being
able to get more satellites, being able to get a fix quicker,
and also
being able to get satellites in locations where you found it
hard to get
satellites before using the EarthMate.

So, I was wondering what is your opinion on this from a user's
perspective.
Kevin
