anyone got one, my green standby light doesnt come on, but the bluetooth one does and makes a connection, can you reboot the GPS or something, or is it gorn to heaven
 
Yep - bought one just before Christmas - Ebay Deal
Worked out of the box.
Needed charging of course.
Documentation is rubbish so dont know if it can be rebooted.
I press the "on" button for two secs and the green light just comes on.
Stays on until a fix - need to go outside or beside a big window to get a fix.
Works well with my IPaq 2790.
Needed to download a special utility (MMSirfSetup) to to switch on/off static navigation.
As with most other Bluetooth devices you can only have one device/program communicating with it at any time.
Not used it at sea yet - but works well on land.
Can upload its track into the computer - even plot on Google Earth.
Good value (I think)
