Hi Alex,
The fact of the matter is a more sensitive receiver will be able
to
pick up GPS signals more easily both direct and reflected. So
you
get both good and bad signals, you pickup more signals but in the
process also pick up some more erroneous signals.
Take this example:
WIth the slim 236 you get no signal inside your local shopping
mall.
With the M-1000 you now get a signal but it bounces you from one
end
of a the building to the other. What would your prefer? I would
rather have a signal even if its somewhat in error than no signal
at all.
Hope this helps.
Charles.

What is a multipath situation, and why is it a problem if the

Hi Alex,
We spent a number of months with the Holux M-1000. in our tests
the
accuracy was better then the gpslim 236.
the time to first fix is much faster with the m-1000.
Usually when the m-1000 gets WAAS it keeps it.
it also worked great at slow speeds. I'm talking around 1 mph or
0.8
mph. the M-1000 was right on.
Now having said that, the m-1000 is a super sensitive receiver
which
could have an effect in multi path situations.
But as Mike says a place like New York city will be the true test
for
the m-1000 and multi path. I have actually went and re recorded
some
of my user.poi's because in some situations I was able to get a
better
position.
Hope this helps.
Chris

Sendero is constantly testing various GPS receivers. We have
been using the Holux M1000 for several months and have now
switched from the 236 to the M1000. We do not have the M1000
modified at all. You can purchase it on-line for around $50 plus
shipping and tax if applicable.
We now ship the M1000 with new GPS packages. It of course comes
with a custom case so you can easily put it on a shoulder strap.
It works fine at the pedestrian speeds, something we tested a
lot.
Its major benefit is its battery life and greater sensitivity.
It will acquire faster and pick up better among buildings or
within single story buildings.
It is almost exactly the same size as the 236. It has a slide
switch for power and uses the same charger and battery as the
236. The battery life seems to be about double that of the 236.
I am currently in New York to be on Good Morning America live
Tuesday morning. This is a pretty good test bed for this new
receiver.
I believe the Sendero price is $99 for Sendero users. Sheila
will know for sure. I like it a lot.
