Holux Warranty

GPS equipment Jack.

Ok I've found your post Niko.

Ray,
how much was the AR-10?

thanks

I got mine for $85 plus $5 P&P from ebay. I see there's another there but it's gone up to $85 plus $6 P&P. I think the above mob sell them for $90. Whatever the price they're a damn fine unit and work very well with the re-radiating antenna up to about a metre away.

Arhh it's too late. Should have read I got mine for $80 plus $5 P&P

G'day Niko, know who houlx are, I bought a Dconnex DC-230, (holux GR-230) through Ebay. Took me a bit of surfing throught the internet to find out exactly what I have. The one thing I did learn is that cheapest deal, even good quality, is not the best. I am happy with the pedigree of the product, but the provider, and his iafter sales service lacks considerably. I hope you can help me with software that actually works with a palm O/s5. No luck with talking to the bloke from singapore. You can email me off line if you think I might be too embarassed to hear what you have to say.......lol.

I would need to know which Palm, model, from which country you purchased it and anything else you can devulge.

It's a palm tungsten t. I purchased the gps from singapore. The manual says it's manufatured by Axis Electronics (Chengdu). What is the most approp. map reading software for this unit? Thanks.

The funny thing is, very few manufacturers make anything for a Palm, in comparison to a PDA. Taiwan manufacturers have tended to concentrate on Windows based PDAs and forego any development on Palm. The only people really working with Palm is Garmin and that's because they can get the volume sales to make it worthwhile. Rayming state that a number of their GPS units work with Apple Mcintosh and I have sold a few of them on that basis with no returns thus far. If you are looking for any informations on main stream manufacturers (not OEM manufacturers) then go to gpsaustralia.net for details. You can't buy from them unless you are a dealer/retailer. The site has only just been setup and progressing to be complete by the end of the month. Remember though that cheap is for a reason, but it costs importers extra on goods than end users because often the end user's item is below the threshold. Support, service and infrastructure add to the costs. So, if you want to help us grow, better buy local. There is a special on for the Holux GR230 at OctaPC.com.au

The standard USB cable used to power and charge the GR-230 only provides power, not data transfer. However, there is a data cable but what is the other end? A PC or PDA? If PDA which model.
