Staying out of DOUBLE trouble is easy now with the QSTARZ Double 32 Bluetooth GPS Receiver!

The recently announced BT-Q818 gives us double the endurance -- 32 hours -- and double the normal number of satellites tracked -- also 32.

So running into the double trouble of poor reception and running out of battery is now a thing of the past.

For 89 Euros this looks like an excellent choice and we undoubtedly will bring you more details when we get our review unit.

More specs below.

And by the way, we can now reveal the mystery of how the Tiny BT-Q920 GPS brings us the joy of music! We reported earlier on the existence of this receiver with its special feature that works on an FM transmitter. See below for a preview of the actual unit which FedEx dropped off today!

qstarz_BT-Q920 FMHere's the -- suddenly not so tiny BT-Q920 in its full glory!

The mystery about providing music comes from an attachment that clips onto the GPS receiver and sends your music from a connected PDA or phone via the FM transmitter to your car stereo... 

Why not? 

More in our review later.
