Nokia Ld 3W Bluetooth Gps Receiver

Very good Bluetooth receiver.

We travel a lot and take photos in many locations. This GPS receiver makes keeping up with where the photos were taken a snap.

Great sounding receiver ....AWESOME with my Bluetooth

I bought this receiver for the Bluetooth connectivity. I am now able to play my iTunes songs from the iTunes cloud through my iPhone and the new Receiver to our inside and / or outside speakers - all from my lounge chair. I am handicapped, so this is of great help to me.

This receiver does exactly what I was hoping it would do...automatically capture the GPS coordinates of my photos. It sure saves a lot of time vs. guessing exactly where I was at the time. I am loving it.

I added the GPS receiver to my Thinkware dash cam. Camera recognized the receiver and is consistently working within a few seconds.

So after 128 days of waiting, I finally got one and am happy that it is here. The device is roughly the length and width of the LCD screen on the back of my 5DIII, and at it's thinnest point about half and inch and at its thickest point (where it connects to the hotshoe) it is roughly an inch. It comes with a solid case made of ballistic nylon for the unit itself, and another microfiber pouch is included that can hold the receiver itself along with the cables. Unfortunately, it did not come with a battery so I had to make a run to ABC for a pack of AAs.Use is super easy. After installing the battery, I just snapped it on to the hotshoe of my 5DIII and flicked the switch to on. I was cruising through the tall buildings of Waikiki Beach and it acquired a signal in a snap. The on screen soft menu for the receiver is in the 2nd page of the setup menu. It includes an auto update to the time function, sampling rate settings, and a digital compass setting. All very straight forward. All you do from there is verify the GPS icon is on the top LCD and shoot away.After I shot about 50 test shots I headed home and uploaded to Aperture 3. With no deviation to my normal routine I transferred all the shots from the camera and viola! Each shot had a GPS location embedded as meta data.I realize there are many way to accomplish this task, however, this gizmo made it super easy. If you've got the cash, pull the trigger, it's a cool and nice convenience if you want GPS data tagged on your images.

I have a Canon 1D which has the GPS receiver within it, and love the ability to know where I took a picture. I also have a Canon 5D which does not have this feature. I bought this to add this data to my camera shoots. I also am glad to know I will be able to use it with the Canon R5 which I intend to buy in the near future.

I use NiMH batteries in my GPS receiver, carrying charged spares and keeping extra ones at home. After some time (a few years) they'll hold less of a charge and lose it faster and need replacing. I like that these are s'posed to retain the charge longer while unused (low self-discharge rate); that more than makes up for the slightly lower capacity (2600 vs 2700mAh). Whether that's actually the case remains to be seen after I've had them for a while, but so far it seems promising.

Every day use such as driving. Touch screen on GPS receiver responds to the glove. Glad I bought them.
