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.
