Has anyone tried using this GPS receiver? I was looking at it and thought it'd be a nice option to go along with my n800. It is small and compact. It does come with a car charger and USB charger. But I figured it'd also be useful if I went camping with the kiddos seeing as it's so small.

What I really want to know is how quickly does it get a signal, and does it keep the signal well, especially while driving? These two questions will of course be the biggest factors on if I decide to get it or not.

I haven't tried that GPS unit myself, and I don't recall it mentioned here before either. On the other hand, according to the specs it's got a Sirf star III chipset, which is one of the very best chipsets w.r.t. sensitivity and fast lock-on (even though the 32- or 51-channel receivers may lock on even faster, at least from cold start). My guess is that this GPS will probably work just fine, unless it's something seriously wrong with the design (useless antenna, for example).
