Qstarz GPS receiver Qstarz BT-Q818 XT, black (Electronics)

Customer Review

The different colored LEDs for battery charge status and Bluetooth connection and satellite connection can be an ever know what makes the unit straight.
A first test with "Samsung Galaxy Ace 2" worked well. (As an app I have used Orux Maps)
A Bluetooth connection is established only when an app accesses. So the cell phone alone Bluetooth to activate does not help, or shows Qstarz only an active BT connection if an app uses BT. A satellite connection will only be made if a BT or cable connection. (Which also makes sense)
This is probably why so good battery values ​​because the unit does not perform idiotic activities idle.

The purchase reason for me was that I have a higher accuracy than the internal GPS. Because I need for geocaching better accuracy.
A first test has shown that a lot more points are recorded in the track, and each line is round while the internal phone-GPS only once every 3 seconds to write a point. So this machine will scan many points (1,5,10 per Sec) and is therefore designed for higher speeds.
For accuracy, I have not specifically may find something. However, I have had both the internal and the external GPS are ahead in the car on the wipers on a street without trees. So maybe optimal to heaven. Both have the same recorded accurately.
I still need to test how the behave when the reception conditions are difficult.
I hope that the external device then plays out its advantages.
In the 1 Hz setting the device has scanned 5 points per second. Hmm ... actually, it should be one. Or did I ?? might inadvertently lead when tested on 5/10 Hz!

Currently, as a plus, therefore, only:
- Scans depending on the setting more points per second (good for racing !!)
- Turns a notebook Riesennavi on the Befahrersitz (but make other devices also)

I hope even at good reception in bad conditions otherwise it was for me probably an incorrect acquisition.
