Ftech Solar 7 Bluetooth GPS Receiver
August 1, 2005 | In: Alternative Energy, Bluetooth Gadgets, GPS Systems
The guys over at Ubergizmo have an in-depth review of the Ftech Solar 7 Bluetooth GPS Receiver. It appears they’ve tested it extensively over the past 6 weeks and give it an enthusastic two-thumbs-up:
The FTech solar GPS receiver is one of the coolest gadgets we’ve got our hands on so far. It’s a very elegant idea and we wonder why nobody came up with it before. The unit can decode satellite signals in an urban environment with tall buildings (tested in downtown San Francisco) and is accurate enough for driving. This unit is larger than comparable Bluetooth GPS because of the solar panel, but the benefits of this feature largely overcome the bulkier size. Finally, the device is even cheaper than most Bluetooth GPS units, with street prices around $130.
