Basically what it does is record your time+distance+speed and allows you to save that data and incorporate it into your personal Google Earth Program, so in other words you can keep records of your trips or should I say ‘every single second of your trip’

One of my Typical Screen Shots (Location, Speed Etc)
Each block is data for every second and every block can be read, this shows a segment of an outward and inward trip, hence two tracks

If you happen to have a Nokia S60 Series phone then one of their free programs :
Nokia Sportstracker

The device does work when in your pocket, but for more accurate data its best used “In line of sight with satellites” and just like other Sat/Nav devices can get confused when its amongst high buildings. There are several other makes out there, and I guess they all work equally well, I have opted for one sourced through Ebay and a seller in this country (£50 inc. p&p), you can buy cheaper from abroad.

NOTE this review is for a BLUETOOTH GPS DATALOGGER, there are also available BLUETOOTH GPS MODULES which work with devices (Phones and PDA’S) using Sat/Nav Software and DO NOT record data!
