I used i-Blue 747 to log my ski trips, hikes and to geocode trip photos. This device captures data anywhere in my car, backpack or even inside my house. You can customize the logged data. Battery charge lasts for at least ten hours. I also use it with Microsoft Streets and Trips using bluetooth (If I remember correctly, I couldnt make it work with MS S&T using USB connection. MS S&T could see the GPS however it couldnt communicate with it.) You can download the data in CVS, kml or NMEA format. I wish it had supported GPX format then I wouldnt have to convert the files. The download is painfully slow. It takes few minutes to download few mb data from the unit to the interface (then you can save it to the computer in a format of your choice). Another minor problem is: You have to keep the device on the log mode to download data. When it appends some unnecessary entries to your log (you can make it stop logging using the interface but not before it adds at least a couple of entries). I have been using it for a month and overall I love this unit. It is small, light, aesthetic and captures gps data very well.

I use this GPS with my Laptop and my phones (blackberry & Sony-Ericcsson) without problems.
Pros: It commits with all the specifications offered
Cons: Switch position to use Bluetooth is difficult to locate if you try to do with one hand while you are driving.
Software is very basic
