The Bluetooth dock has plenty of power and works great in my car. It is small and unobtrusive. I use it with my laptop and my PDA.

I bought this because it was recomend by microsoft for use with Streets and Trips. As already mentioned it does not work with Streets and trips on Vista. It does however work well with Garmin PC. A few things I'm not happy about. The blue led is to bright when you have the unit on your dash at night and it does not work while you are charging it... very annoying.

Update: The unit does not work while charging untill the battery has been charged for 15 minutes after being fully discharged.

Works great with Blackberry 8700. Also works great with Google Maps With GPS Tracker 13.0 (Shareware software). doesnt work at all with Microsoft Streets and Trips 2008 running on Windows Vista - aparently Streets & Trips 2008 has problems with half-duplex bluetooth serial port communciations... Shame on you Microsoft.

I recomend the Pharos BT dock IF you don't plan to use it with Streets and Trips on Vista.

Cheers,

Mike

I bought this to use with my PDA and laptob. It works great, easy to setup, long battery life. Has a blue connect light, flashes to show it is on, turns soild when linked. Recharges quickly, small, great design, no wires to fight with. Great product, highly recomend. Would buy it again for any price, well worth investment. Can't think of a way to make it any better, no complaints.

Works great for me, I bought it to pair it up with a free GPS aplication on a Windows Mobile device for Geocaching. I also use it to eliminate the wires when I'm traveling with my fiance using the laptop and Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007. Works well in both cases.
