[gps-talkusers] Re: e: NEW HOLUX M1000

I've been using the sirf3 demo package that sirf provides. It works reasonably well with jfw. Again, probably not for the faint of heart but it at least saved me from having to order a new unit. I actually like the sirf3 based devices.

I looked into doing this with a Royaltek receiver, but the software was
a bear to use with speech, and I was scared of making a mistake and not
knowing how to correct it. Even more skilled computer users than myself
backed away from trying this.

Many receivers have a battery backed up storage facility for settings so
a reconfiguration on each powerup wouldn't be necessarily required
(depends on the unit).  However, I wasn't suggesting anyone do this
lightly just that it's an option if folks are having resolution issues
at low speeds.  I need to admit though that I am a hopeless gear head
for life so while I tend to go straight under the hood and start
tweaking your milage may varry!

Hello everyone,
This is true, you can usually tweak this settings with the right

software,

but from the tests we have seen you would have to change those

settings

each time you turn on the receiver.  At least older versions did have

that

limitation, not sure if the off-the-shelf m1000 has this same

limitation

or not.  It also remains to be seen how accessible this software is to



adjust these settings.

I really don't know, I am just making you aware of all the issues.

Charles.

Just as a side note, many of the receivers are able to be configured

programmed.  I have a US-Globalsat that's based on the SIRF 3 chipset

and

you're able to toggle the 5 KM/H cut off etc.  I don't want to kill
anyone's service plan:) but if you're using an off the shelf receiver
chances are there are knobs you can twittle to improve performance.

So, if I remember correctly, the gpslim236 that Sendero sells has

been

specially modifed.  I think this modification was to always have waas
turned on.

Am I right about this, and is a similar modification necesary for the
M1000?

Thanks,

Jim

 Carol,

I will list the benefits below:
* 17 hours of battery life as compared to 8 on the (GPSlim236)
* still has an on/off switch
* will fit into GPSlim236 case, uses same charger and battery as

well

* uses a newer chipset that allows greater accuracy, greater
sensativity,
and greater battery life
* will get waas more often
* cheaper as well

I know that the above didn't directly answer your question regarding



being a
cane user and slower speeds but  thought I throw in the benefits of

this

reciever.

Kevin
