[gps-talkusers] Re: e: Trekker versus Sendero GPS

Yeah, Kevin,

I suspected as much.  I don't know if the Helix 236 that I have is in the 
Trekker's list, but next time I grab the demo unit I'll experiment.  But, it 
takes 1-2 minutes to get a fix, versus 10-30 seconds with the Helix on the 
GPSNote.

Steve and All,

I would like to just add that the time to first fix is not dependant on the
GPS solution, but rather the GPS receiver one is using. For example, if you
are using an earthmate it would take much longer to acquire a fix as
compared to the holux. It might take even twice as long in some situations.
