After spending several days using the Evermore GT-800BT I am very pleased with its features and its overall performance. This product can be used either as a typical BT GPS receiver with any kind of portable device or as a standalone GPS logger. It's weight is around 60gr which is not the lightest GPS available. However, the included battery is strong enough to keep the device up for around 24hrs.

So you may wonder, what kind of users can use this device and for which purpose. For sure, the Evermore product would be attractive for the following categories of users:

Tourists / Mountain Climbers / Hikers
- Record your travel route, Show your geotagged photo on Flickr/Picasa, Organize your photos by Geotagging software, Share your photos / track with your friend
For business management
- Manage business trip of your sales people or any people on errand.
For your loved ones
- Understand where your loved ones have been, especially for teenagers.
For Hobby / Professional Photographers / Journalists
- Geotagged your valuable photos, show them on Google Earth / Google Maps, Organize your geotagged photos by geotagging software.
For Ocean Lover
- Record your route on sea, especially as there’s no road reference on sea, show where you caught a big fish on Google Earth on sea!
For Real Estate Agent
- Show the neighborhood of the house you are selling on Google Maps, for example, the school and the traffic condition of the neighborhood.

The included Moremapper software makes the above uses an easy task. It has a clean interface and works very good, even we would like to see some GUI polishes in upcoming versions.

As a GPS receiver it showed a good performance compared compared with the devices based on the SirfIII chipsets, although we should mention that the device didn't maintain stable 3D Fix during our course.

The included USB cable can be used to either charge the device or simply to transfer the recorded courses to the PC. And of course, the device can be installed easily with no additional drivers required.

Overall, we feel that the Evermore GT-800BT is a complete product which offers many functions and features. It's retail price is around ~$99, which is typical for such a product if you ask me. If you need a GPS logger with a good software support, the Evermore GT-800BT will be your companion for a long time during your trips.
