Impressive, accurate, slim, records tracks for months...:
Received this unit 4 days ago from buy GPS now store. So far, I have used it to track more than 700 miles and geo-tagged 40 plus photos and 5 voice-tags. I really like this unit in terms of the design, which is slim, stainless steel casing on the back and most button operations are confirm by a beep sound (either long or short beep). The included Java application is actually quite easy to use and runs directly from the CD / Disc included. The accuracy is excellent compare to AMOD I was using. Accuracy is so good that it tracks me down to the actual parking slot that I parked my car and even track me down to the exact lane on a 5-lane freeway. I have also checked the geo-tagged photo and the EXIF headers correctly show the latitude, longtitude, altitude, speed and even heading. I have also confirmed that the geotagged photos are regonized and placed on the correct position on Picasa Web Album. I also like the Speed Alarm feature, which I currently set it to 80 mph and everytime I try to pass cars on a freeway, I will get a loud noise as soon as I passed the 80 mph speed limit and the noise starts to go away as soon as my speed drops below 80 mph. Cons 1: The geo-tagged photos are actually placed under a special folder called "GPSed". This was not mentioned in the user's manual. Cons 2: The Time Album application is currently capable of doing KM/h and the manufacturer is working on a new version to support MPH, and allows us to switch between these 2 standards. I highly recommend the Columbus V-900, especially to Mac OSX or Linux users (also compatible with windows XP / Vista)

This device has justified my expectations:
Recently received my Columbis V-900. Before that I bought Garmin Nivi 650 at Amazon, but I missed that it has no track logging feature which is really important for me. Therefore I decided to buy quality data logger, and found this unit... First view: - It is really small. - Nice, stylish design. - Material is very high quality (plastic, metal back,...). Nice features: - It can be used as logger and as receiver simultaneously (most bluetooth data loggers can't do that). - POI button can be used to start new track as well. - Logging can be started/stoped by short press on power button. - Has beep confirmations on events/actions. - Voice tagging is really useful feature, it helps a lot when you have many POIs. (recorded voice quality is poor, but is enough to recognize speech) Signal reception is quite good as on other MTK chipset GPSes. I compared/tested with iBlue-747 - accuracy is same. Conclusion: - This device has justified my expectations. - Not cheap, but that's ok, if we take into account it's quality and useful features.
