My one is the size of a matchbox and twice as thick. I wouldn't rely on it in Central London because it can't always get a signal - not just when you're near tall buildings but when it's dark too. If it gets a signal then it can be helpful but be prepared for it not to work. Possible a 70 % success rate in Central ldn -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Damon Sent: 09 March 2007 06:48 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Hollux GPS receivers etc (was: Re: Re: GPS software Hi Steve and others, Is there a particular Hollux receiver you would recommend? Which is the smallest and the best? Can you describe the size by comparing it to something in real life, a matchbox or a pen or something? Can you measure the sensitivity of GPS receivers? For instance, is there a scale? Or a rating? Or a version number like there is with light sensitivity in camcorders with their lux rating?
