If you want the most accurate and virtually instantaneous satellite fix times, you should insist on SiRFstar III technology. The SiRF III architecture offers superior performance, achieving time-to-first-fix in as little as one second, with the ability to acquire signals down to -159 dBm. This makes real-time navigation practical, especially in indoor environments, urban canyons, and under dense foliage.
Unlike the lengthy sequential search process of traditional GPS architectures, the SiRFstar III architecture has the equivalent of more than 200,000 correlators and enables fast and deep GPS signal search capabilities that result in significant improvement over today's architectures that contain a few hundred to a few thousand correlators. Don't be fooled by technical terms and clearance prices - if you had old technology you would sell it cheap to get rid of it, too. We buy our SiRF III GPS receivers directly from the manufacturer and pass the savings on to you. You won't find a better GPS receiver for less money anywhere.
Features:
- Works with ALL GPS software including Marine and Automotive applications
- WAAS & ENGOS protocols supported
- Built-in SuperCap to reserve system data for rapid satellite acquisition
- Built-in patch antenna
- High sensitivity with Extremely fast TTFF (Time To First Fix) with low signal strength
- Supports NMEA 0183 data protocol
- Currently, it is the accepted opinion that the Sirfstar III chip set performance should be the default standard for a GPS receiver.
- Can be mounted inside of the vehicle
- Maintains your current position even if you loose a "fix"
- One year direct warranty
- In real life testing, it outperformed: Holux, Garmin, and Global Satellite
