What is a HOLOX?
« on: 22 July 2018, 17:25:02 »
I'm not being rude! I was at a boot sale this morning and saw this bar-of-soap shaped thing and wondered what it was/did. The vendor had no clue eother, but it was on;ly pennies, so I bought it - the sun must have got to me!
It has a mini USB in put and light up a bit, but that's it: any clues, gents?

Are you soft in the head ???

You buy an unidentified gizmo, from a car boot vendor, and actually plug it into your computer...  :o

I can only hope that your computer isn't connected to tinterweb :-\

I thought that I was being stupid for asking the question, but I'm glad I'm not alone in my ignorance!
Well, if the vendor didn't have a clue as to its function, I suppose it will have to remain a mystery.....

Are you guys thick, or what? The Holox BT541 uses the Skytraq Venus 521 chipset which supports AGPS. Skytraq provide a free AGPS download application for Symbian and Windows. Time to lock, and typical accuracy are very good when AGPS is used (can be a bit tempramental without it). Early firmware versions had problems with track drift (firmware is upgradeable, but difficult to find the latest version). The BT541 has a motion detector (sounds like a ball bearing in a box) that allows the device to go into a low power mode when not moving. This can give a battery life of many days depending on usage.
