According to their site (cbgps.com), the the recommended price is RMB899, or roughly US$130. I don't know how that compares to similar products, but it seems to have a lot of features AND it is soo shiny!

This would be great for running... can't stand the fatty GPS watches out there!

This unit has a spy mode, it will save you some bucks if you need to hire a PI on your wife.

throw in some real-time tracking, and you've got yourself a deal :)

Can anyone read enough Japanese to comment on the battery? If this thing takes a AA (looks too small for it) or a AAA (which might not have much juice, but Hey, I like standard / non-proprietary battery sizes), I'd be very tempted.

It has a built-in 1000mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery. It runs from 13 hours to 30 days depends on what mode it is on. The website is in Chinese.

haha, spy mode rocks, ill have to drop my current configuration of my gisteq system and try one of these. To me its about a few things, being able sensitive enough to acquire enough satellites, and the software bundled for tracking, geo tagging of photos etc.
small little write up I did about my exp with various gps units

I think I'll stick with this one: http://www.semsons.com/wiwbmu3gpsre2.html. Only $95 and works with most mobile phones. It also has all of the features that this one has (minus the microSD slot), just not the same pretty look. I've been on the fence about getting it, only b/c $95 is still a lot just for a gps addon. :(

I've got a leadtek that is twice as fat... but works brilliantly

Meh wants one !!!

There HAS to be more to life than plugging gadgets in and out of the mains ...
I like this gadget, but I've got adaptor/charging fatigue. This functionality needs to be integrated into a camera. Too many gadgets to carry around.

The BT-Q1000 and Q1000P are 72.2 (L) X 46.5 (W) X 20 (H) mm.
The V900 is 74 (L) x 43 (W) x 9.9 (H) mm.
Is 10mm in height really the difference between "bulky" and "diminutive"?
