City Software | Buy Freedom Mini GPS 2000

What are the two items everyone picks up as they are heading out the door? Their car keys and their mobile phone... so its always there when you need it!

Charge it up in your car or at home. No need to take it off the key ring in the car, and when walking it can stay with your keys in your pocket, briefcase, handbag, backpack or anywhere else you want (outside) and still maintain an accurate lock with the GPS satellites. Ideal for connecting wirelessly to your notebook, PDA or Mobile Phone by state of the art Bluetooth technology (up to 10meters). It does not work indoors.

With an MTK microcontroller chip the mini GPS2000 is capable of connecting simultaneously to up to up to 51 satellite channels* and has a solid working time of 10hrs.

Features

The Freedom Keychain GPS 2000 is now even more compact and is aimed directly at the ever increasing number of users of SmartPhones and BlackBerrys (150 million will be sold in 2007.)
Only about 10-15% of the new devices will have GPS built in, e.g. the 8800 BlackBerry, but all the Pearl and older models have no GPS.
Owners of hand held devices can now easily and cheaply (some are free downloads) obtain new styles of maps and mapping programs that can be downloaded directly onto their mobile phone, PDA or Laptop (Internet access required)
These new maps can aid the visitor to find their way in a new city, and in the U.K. even giving them detailed maps for country walks.
No need for yet another gadget - turn your phone into your mobile GPS, so it will be there when you need it.
