michael Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 ***** SOLD ****** Only used for a couple of hours in conjunction with my XDA IIi & TomTom - I've swapped to a standalone Sat Nav solution due to the XDA being crap. Comes boxed with all the gubbins they supply as new, excellent condition and so on.... Official Page: http://www.holux-uk.com/Products/gpslim236/index.shtml Independent Review: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/gr236.php It's very compact compared with a lot of the others out there, SIRF III so locks quickly and gets a strong connection to up to 20 satellites even when it can't see the sky (I had it under the radio and it still got a good lock) and it has a removable battery that's identical to cheap Nokia ones so you can buy spares for peanuts and enjoy long journeys without the need to charge it up (it lasts over 10 hours though so there isn't really a need ) I paid £80 for it in the middle of last year and it's been in it's box ever since, I'm looking for inc P&P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 Will consider a swap for a decent portable MP3 player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I've one of those and it's excellent. Incidentally, I used it with an XDA II without any problems at all, so don't let that you off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted January 25, 2007 Author Share Posted January 25, 2007 I seem to remember recommending it to you in another thread As Jake says the Holux is excellent and works with the XDA (I have friends using the same combo with no problems), it just seems that my particular XDA is a fickle beast, with TomTom and various other apps, a rebuild will sort it no doubt but I went standalone for navigation and plan to buy a smaller phone with built in GPS next so the GPSlim is surplus to requirements.

Burna Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Agree with Jake it's a cracking little unit. Mine just sits in the centre console, doesn't even see daylight when running and the signal is just as strong. I must get around to hard wiring it in so I don't have to charge it Mine works great with an orange M500 if that helps anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted January 29, 2007 Author Share Posted January 29, 2007 Fancy swopping a mobile for it? V3i? That's probably a good swap but I don't really need another phone. Wouldn't you get more than that for it on eBay though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
