You then need to power it off and back on again to reset it.
#Holux m215 usb gps receiver manual#
The manual states that the BN-909GR has a powersave functionality that will switch it off if no device connects to it although (if I remember correctly) it states after 10 minutes, not the 2 minutes or less I experienced.Īnyhow after using the BlueNext for a few days (remember I was desperate) I found that although the GPS can switch on if you hold the power switch, if you do not hold it long enough the GPS part of it will not switch on - and you just end up with the Bluetooth light by itself flashing. Having said this, the battery lasted me around 12 hours of switching on and off. The manual also states that when the battery is low the red light will flash - well it too did not - the device just powered off. Well it did not - after 5 hours I disconnected it. The manual states that the battery should be initially charged for three hours and that the red light would go out when it was done. 13 Satellites is quite good - as it should be for a new generation receiver.

The maximum number of satellites I found at any one point was 13 (note this is with my software - which includes satellites that have within the last minute just gone over the horizon out of sight of the GPS).

The performance of the device meant indoors within two metres of a window I got a fix within ~2-3 minutes - that is if the BlueNext didn't switch off of its own accord. The device I received whilst newly boxed and unopened had light scratches on its very shiny plastic, in addition the power button didn't seem to work unless it was pressed very hard for around 10 seconds (the manual states 3 if I remember) - more on this later. I purchased the BlueNext from Ebay, primarily because it was cheap ~£20 - and it suffers for it.

I needed a Bluetooth GPS quickly because of a programming project I've been working on - "LocateMe", and I needed it quick. The Holux M-1200 is far superior to the BlueNext BN-909GR.
