Conclusion

The BT-338 is a well engineered, striking, cutting-edge GPS receiver that is not only exceptionally useful, but also a fantastic value compared to a lot of competing GPS equipment. The only other items you’ll need to buy are mapping software and some kind of car mount to hold your Treo within view while you navigate.
