TomTom Wireless GPS Receiver 20 channel GPS receiver module

Advantages: good
Disadvantages: none

I dont have a 20 channel receiver however I do have a 12 channel receiver which came in the box with my Tom Tom Navigator 5 for PDA, whichi I use in my Treo 680 Smart Phone. The whole thing works perfectly and I couldn't ask for more as Sat Nav goes. The GPS receiver looks identical to the 20 channel one shown here and if this one works as well as mine does then you can't go wrong. It has a matt cover which makes it stay put where ever you place it on the dashboard and in use I've found that it picks up a signal very quickly and once linked to the PDA by bluetooth it keeps the signal so long as it can see just a tiny bit of sky. Once linked I take the unit off the dash and place it on the floor of the car in between the seats and it keeps the signal through motorway tunnels and even during a traffice halt under a bridge!

Tom Tom Wireless GPS Receiver Module

Advantages: Bluetooth links in a flash, GPS links to satellite in a few seconds.
Disadvantages: Its a separate unit so there's two things to carry about.

GPS the no frills approach

Advantages: Cheap and easy to use
Disadvantages: Build quality an issue

(will also work on the improved compact flash II connection).The design is a bit like a compact flash card with a plastic housing sitting on top and is about twice the size of a standard compact flash card. The plastic housing contains the main workings of the unit like motherboard and inbuilt aerial thus eliminating the need for a separate aerial. The product also has a LED which illuminates when you have plugged the unit into the slot and are receiving power. Combined with suitable software you will be able to map your 3D position and other information like travelling speed and co-ordinates for geocaching (a type of treasure hunting challenge based around GPS technology and the internet). ****** Pro's and Con's ****** So why would you want to choose this unit, well my main reason was that I wanted a device that was very light ...
