Leadtek 9559X Bluetooth GPS receiver review

[MikeB]

Leadtek have a very strong presence in the PC market, and have been around in the GPS industry for some time now. Indeed they made the original wired and wireless GPS receivers for TomTom way back when PDA navigation was pretty much the only alternative to an expensive in-car Satnav system.

Last year Leadtek released the stylish 9553, and now have followed it up with another slim, stylish Bluetooth GPS receiver powered by a SiRFStarIII GPS chipset. With a street price of around £65 is this a GPS that lives up to the reputation of the previous GPS hardware?

With regard to your comments re the XDA and pairing; I have recently upgraded from an XDA Exec to a Mini-S. On the Exec, at 3.57pm each day the bluetooth (and wifi) would switch off and very often I would have to re-pair my headset.

I've been using the mini-S since October and haven't had such problems again. Both phones use WM5.
