Pay the extra money a buy a Qstarz BT-Q818X, much much better.
The SIRF 111 chip set is an old chip set and the Qstarz uses a newly designed version 2 MTK chip set.
The MTK is faster, better in low signal areas, better battery life, 66 channels and the big thing is the cursor on the screen stays still when you are not moving, the SIRF 111 has a tendency to jump around when stationary.
Do a search on it and read the reviews.
Have a look here
