Another mouthful of solar gadgetry. Dodads, gizmos, and gadgets all share one thing in common. The more words in the title, the more they cost, and the “cooler” they are. Gentlemen behold! Transystem’s iBlue757 Pro Solar Bluetooth GPS Data Logger. Top marks for them putting in the “pro” that means they probably plan on coming out with a “platinum” and “home” edition as well.
Here is what this guy offers from the Transystem’s site
Features:
• w/ 8Mb serial Flash, up to 50,000 way points
• Dual power (Battery + Solar Energy)
• More than 100 hrs operating time in direct sun
• Permanent in standby mode in direct sun
• Bluetooth GPS with 32 channels
• Ultra high sensitivity up to -158 dBm (Tracking)
• Smart Power Save Mechanism (Transystem Patent Pending)
• Fuzzy Auto On/Off (Transystem Patent Pending)
That’s right, all that and fuzzy on/off. If you regularly GPS points for a job, then this is the gadget for you (hence the pro in the title) otherwise just go for a walk and enjoy nature.
Does this thing do any more than just log data? Can it be used as a GPS receiver with a PDA or similar?
nemo: I am not sure you should direct these sort of questions to the products website.
