The guys over at Avec Mobile has reviewed the Holux M-241 GPS Receiver and here is the conclusion:
The Holux M-241 is a multipurpose GPS receiver. It can be used as a satellite navigator for map applications running on a mobile phone, as a GPS tracker for recording travel routes and syncing photos with location data, and as a simple, lightweight speedometer/odometer by cyclists, joggers, or hikers. Even if you purchase the product for only one purpose, it is good value, but three for the price of one is almost a bargain. Nonetheless, it was painfully obvious that the PC software and overall documentation hadn’t received enough attention during the product development phase. These shortcomings reduced our rating, totaling four out of five. Once we figured out how the track recorder worked with the PC software and with Google Earth, the Holux M-241 was an easy to use, reliable product. When we used it as a GPS receiver for our mobile phone via Bluetooth, the M-241 was one of the best we have tried.
