Garmin GPS 10x Wireless Reciever

Description

Compact and lightweight, the Garmin GPS 10x sensor combines a high sensitivity GPS receiver with Bluetooth technology in a sleek design. Both portable and wearable, you can mount the GPS 10x in your car or clip it to your clothes for navigation by car or foot. Ideal for mobile executives and professionals, the 10x determines your location and transmits vital information to mobile devices so you stay on track. For added convenience, the 10x features a removable and rechargable, long-life, lithium-ion battery which lasts up to 20 hours with every charge.Garmin's GPS 10x Bluetooth wireless receiver is about the size of a small MP3 player and weighs only two ounces—it fits easily in a pocket. It contains all the electronics necessary to determine your position by picking up the signal from Global Positioning System satellites. This data is transmitted to your phone by way of a Bluetooth wireless data connection. The other part of the product is a software application called Garmin Mobile that you can download to the phone itself. Launch the application while the 10x device is turned on and you receive a capable navigation system offering a choice of spoken directions or large-type text with direction arrows displayed on the handheld's screen. With all the smart phones, however, cellular Internet access is an advantage because Garmin's servers deliver a wide array of useful information pegged to your coordinates. These include the locations of nearby gas stations and restaurants, traffic conditions from Clear Channel's Total Traffic Network, weather reports from Customweather.com, and even hotel room prices from Hotels.com
