I'm a geologist and have used this receiver with field PDA computers and Bluetooth connections - running ArcPad. It's pretty demanding stuff on the PDA at least. Using an HP iPAQ the last few years, I've routiunely had numerous "disconnections" of the PDA from the GPS each day. It was a real pain. But I've changed to a substantially more powerful Juniper Systems Archer field PDA this year, and I'm currently having great success with the Globalsat GPS. I had one disconnection in six days work last week, and rebooting was a snap. The GPS's accuracy is supposedly within a few meters whi9ch is fine for my use. It cranks out locations quickly enough that I can track my progress when in a helicopter. I'll be using it in the woods of Southeastern Alaska with the Archer in a couple of weeks and will get a feeling for how good it is under a canopy -- with the iPAQ in that environment it was adequate, but a bit marginal. Overall, I think the Globalsat BT-338 is a remarkably good Bluetoth GPS for its price.Read full review
Although it took me a while to get the bluetooth settings correct with my tomtom navigator software, I highly recommend this product. The battery life has shown to be 16+ hours. The connection time is under a minute on cold start. The length of time to connect initially was due to my inexperience with bluetooth. This product works great with my ipaq 4150 and tomtom navigator 5 software.
The quality is very good. It works without crashing. The only huge minus - is only a car charger.

I bought the Globalsat BT-338 GPS Receiver about a month ago,i am impressed with its ability to track regularly 8 satellites at a time with a strong signal, only dislike is that sometimes it takes a few minutes to lock in to the satellites on start up, a small price to pay for such a great receiver, i would recomend this unit
I bought this item to use it along with my treo 650.The most thing I like about it is very portable, with a belt carrying bag make s it easy to carry.east to use.
