yes, that's the same Nemerix based receiver BT77, just with a different name.
It will work with all navigation programs, including TTN4 and TTN5 _________________ Lutz

Just be aware that we had mixed feedback from users. Some had a northing offset of a few dozen meters with this chipset, for others it seems to work fine. _________________ Lutz

If it gives you any confidence, I bought one of these Aktronix units last week from ebay - ordered Monday night, arrived Thursday afternoon from Singapore, £47 all in. Whilst I haven't tried it with navigation software yet while driving, it can certainly pin-point my location when I type the lat/lon into mapquest - it even manages to differentiate between each side of the car park outside my house so for me it seems to be accurate to within a couple of metres.
One thing though - some people have suggested that their units are super-sensitive and can get signals inside the house. I have less success with this (though it's not completely dead), however as soon as I go outside it gets a signal almost immediately and a fix within a few more seconds.
It wasn't completely clear from the description when I bought it, but the car charger cable can be used to charge the unit from a PC USB socket too.
It came with both PC and PPC utilites, which are freely available online at visualgps.net |

I do own a Aktronix BT GPS, Ipaq 1940 and Tomtom3.
the GPS receiver is great but after playing around with some other devices I can not get it anymore working for my ipaq. It seems not be a faulty GPS recevier but a registryr problem.
Tomtom is changing the driver name, but this is here not the problem. I can not get this device into working anymore. If someone has a good idea or we can talk trough the registry entries... PLEASE give me a hint... |
