Geekzone Reviews the Globalsat BT-328 Bluetooth GPS Receiver
"Overall, this new entrant to Globalsat's family is a very nice unit, and performs almost as well as the BT338, but at a lower price. It doesn�t seem to handle poor reception areas quite as well, but in most of my road testing, it held up well. If budget is not such an issue, the higher spec BT338 is probably a better option, however if you are looking for a good medium priced all-rounder / domestic GPS to go with your laptop or PDA, then the BT328 should serve you well for quite some time to come."
I happen to have this exact Bluetooth GPS receiver in my hands, and I jibe with Geekzone in saying that it's a great accessory for the budget-conscious. It performs well and looks great. I have a review coming shortly, but in the meantime, head over to Geekzone for their thoughts.

Has anybody tried the new BT-359 model?
They claim it's even better than the 338 at roughly the same price point...

I was comparing the 338 to the 359 (it's less than $20 difference)

Bear in mind that it includes no navigation software, but heck, it's still a steal at $75. 8)

While I can't comment on the performance of other receivers, I store the BT-328 inside my glove box and it still works well.
