Yeah, sounds interesting, but what does it do? Give location, Satillite radio,?

It allows you too make your laptop a gps. Plug this in and then open google maps.
631043
It provides location information in NMEA text data format. Basically when you plug it into your computer it appears as a serial port - connect to that serial port with a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, Putty, etc. and you'll see lines of NMEA data. More information on NMEA data sentence structure can be found here: http://www.gpsinformation.org/dale/nmea.htmIt does not provide any satellite radio functionality.

It gives your location, I don't know about radio deal. I use it for my windows 8 surface pro tablet for navigational app., Co-Pilot live, did work with google maps but not really to good it had me blocks away from where I was and not very good at keeping up to speed.

It is the device that feeds satellite location data to navigation. Plugs in to usb. You need nav software. And it needs a direct look at the sky.

It gives location by making your pc into a GPS unit. Basically an "antenna" for your pc.

I would guess that it picks up radar 2-3 miles in advance if they are pinging other cars. as far as updatable, I do not know since I just purchased mine recently but would be surprised if it was not

Yes, you can "Set location" for somewhere else, but I don't recall how to do that. I guess find the address, and maybe the "Set location" option pops up then? But mine finds satellites fairly quickly, even if it's been turned off. If it takes more than 5 minutes, turn it off and start over. Mine usually finds them in a minute or less. I think it does it faster if you turn it on before you start moving. HTHS--

I tried it out today...FM radio sounds great. The player even has an "auto scan" option similar to seek in a car radio - it will automatically pick up all the stations that have good reception/audio quality and put them all in presets. This way you don't have to go through every decimal number (98.4, 98.5, 98.6,etc) looking for stations.

If it is on it will switch to satellite and say active call. Idk if it will turn the radio on but I think it does.

I believe it said so on the detail information... However, I'm not happy with the purchase and wish I did waste my money. The update removed a radio clock permanently and my satellite radio display information doesn't make sense... Plus I can't tell any difference in updated Navigation information.

No I bought one and installed myself the radio qulity is horrible!!!!! The gps is fine but it takes long time to find the way. And when I installed it it wouldn't completely fit so I had to trim a small part of the big thing. We'll good luck if you deceide to buy that and have fun

Not good at all...I'm in your typical suberb approximately 60 miles from a major city. If I hit "scan" on my radio, it will only stop at one station which is our local radio station. Even if you only listen to FM for traffic reports or whatever, it'll drive you nuts. Save the money

I don't know for sure but it basically interfaces with the indoor head unit and sends signals to the unit as if the signal was coming from the remote control that came with the unit. I like the ability to remotely control the units but their usability is far from perfect. Get help programming them and post what you find out.

Stations are present on pages just find the station hit the memory button and it puts it in that location. To my thinking it works well. It is a very nice radio. RD

This has western sattelites in it and you can add more if you want, but it does not carry beacons for you to identify it. If you're looking for the unit to indicate whether you're on directtv or dish network sattelite, the only way you'd be able to have that would be for you to program it yourself. The unit is designed only to give positive signals for sattelites in the arc. If you don't know how to use a signal meter for sattelites, this is not the meter for you.

I dont know what you mean by that. It gives you the option to tune the radio to the intenna.

Did you program the radio yet? I just two of these and the same thing happened to but until I uploaded new frequencies following the instructions at http://www.miklor.com/BF888/

My XL335M usually has gotten a signal by the time I pull out of the driveway, worst case by the time I leave my subdivision [1 block] it is running. I suppose heavy clouds etc could affect the performance, magnetic fields or microwave signals...I'm not an engineer but imagine the same things that can affect other electronics like a satellite tv dish, gps on a cell phone etc can affect a sat-nav unit.

Gps is annoying, but u cant stob it from repeating. Thats a software issue, I guess its so you wont miss your turn. If your talking or lisining to the radio. Does that for a reason. I hope I helped. Its a great GPS.

Hmm i guess it says there is GPS in the title. How does it work?? I have this product. I also don't know how to update the information.

It's a two-shaft, in-dash chassis radio set. Don't expect a decent radio, it really isn't. It's drifty, it has zero tone contour controls, and the on/off/volume is on the __right__ side rather than on left where it belongs. It _does_ fill the hole and it does have the capability to play MP3 from a USB thumb drive. If you want good audio, look elsewhere; if you just want to fill the hole this will do that. You might be better off going to an auto salvage yard and getting a real radio for your ride.
