Amazing GPS with the best chipset and antenna in the consumer grade marketplace, better than the best Garmin has to offer. It produces every type of GPS trace file format anyone could want and the included software allows for excellent fully offline mapping and highly configurable setup. Five stars! It works seamlessly with Android via the free and also excellent GPS Bluetooth app which is available in the Google Play store. It is fully operable with osmAND on Android thanks to the GPS data relayed to the Android phone via bluetooth. Simply switch off all antennas (leaving on Bluetooth) and you relay the GPS signal to any app you desire. Fantastic functionality because osmAND has fully offline maps and the Travel Recorder passes the GPS signal directly to the osmAND map.

I used to have a BT-Q1000ex which was able to operate at 10Hz, but I lost it on a train ride in Vienna. I need one to geo-tag photos, but do not want to spend my lunch money on it, so I got the cheaper BT-Q1000xt instead. The frequency of xt model is only half of ex model, but it seems more than enough for tracking location of my photos. BT-Q1000xt works as good as BT-Q1000ex for my purpose. It acquires satellite fix fast and hot start takes only a second or two. Battery seems to be able to power more than a day. So the hardware earned 5 stars in my rating. When the device is connected to a USB port on computer, even after the USB driver on the software CD is installed, it still cannot be used like a USB drive to copy over log data. I tried to use its Data Viewer but that piece of junk never works (same problem on two different computers). It always display an error message "Failed to connect GPS module" (I did reboot the machine after installation). Fortunately QTravel on the CD or the newer version downloaded from Qstarz website works OK, but it does not support camera raw format such as Adobe .dng or Canon .cr2. You can only use .bmp, .png, .jpg, .gif and .tiff images. But QTravel allows you to export .gpx file, which can then be used in GeoSetter which support more image format. I am curious if any other users have ever used Data Viewer successfully, but given my experience, I would suggest it be removed from CD so it would not waste user's time. This bad Data Viewer and no support for camer raw image files made me give this receiver's "Ease of Use" a 1 star and lower its "Overall" rating to 3 star, even though I do like the hardware itself.Read full review
This GPS receiver / logger connects by Bluetooth to a phone, tablet, or laptop, and provides precise location, speed, and direction information for use by apps. The included software shows a Google map of the route traveled, and can "playback" the travel, showing accelerated motion of a color dot across the map. The logger mode collects location information every 5 seconds (or at an adjustable interval), and saves it to internal memory for later mapping, synchronization with photos by time of day, or simple tracking of mileage travelled. Latitude, longitude, altitude, and precise times are tracked every few seconds. The unit quickly finds its location when turned on, and is able to get its bearings even faster if "aGPS" data is downloaded to the unit ahead of time. I like the small size, long battery life, and simple operation. The Qstarz BT-Q1000XT is highly recommended.Read full review
I've been using these devices to geotag pictures for 10+ years. They last about ten years then lose track of time. The batteries last for almost forever and are easy to replace. The original two are gone. This is the 2nd replacement. There are no comp[etitive offerings in the market. I use Paul Harvey's "EXIFTool" to write info directly into the files.
