QStarz keep coming out with really decent and functional handheld GPS devices. One of these is the QStarz SR-Q2100.
They say this is a “10-in-1″ product and list the following:
- Track Logger
- Cycle Computer
- Location Finder
- Digital Compass
- Route Guider
- IPX-7 waterproof
- E-Temperature
- QPlanner software for route pre-planning
- QSports software for health management
- QTravel software for travel logging and geotagging
We don’t really think all of these items count as a separate feature but nonetheless this is a multifunctional device. Even just the cycle computer along with route planner is quite impressive. But of course there’s more. Such as the electronic compass, location finder, or the E-Temperature feature. Don’t ask us how that works, for we have no idea.
Here are some more detailed hardware features for the QStarz SR-2100:
- Large LCD display with backlight support : 38 x 32mm 1.8” for instant GPS information
- Multi-function handheld GPS with Bike mode / Waypoint mode / Route mode

- Location Back mode can mark 4 waypoints (A/B/C/D point) – the estimate straight line distance measuring of the location back points
- Route Plan mode can support 1 route with 99 turn points, which can advise remaining distance/direction/time to target point
- Support pre-loading 4 Location Back points and pre-planning 99 turn points of route
- Track Log up to 42,496 waypoints
- Smart power saving and support 25 hours usage (22hrs with backlight)
- Adopts latest GPS chipset with high sensitivity -159dBm
- Excellent performance – Cold/Warm/Hot start time: 42/38/1 sec. (average)
- Time zone and distance/speed unit adjustable

looks pretty much like a garmin 205 305 605 or 705.

QStarz SR-Q2100 is a great handheld GPS navigation system. It really fits on my palm nicely and it is packed with cycle computer, track logger, location finder, digital compass and route guider. Yet, the best thing about this is the software for route planning, travel logging/geotagging and health management!

My SR-Q2100 works almost perfectly. In Bike Mode (at any speed) the Riding Time doesn’t run, nor does the compass work. Other functions work great.
