USB GPS Receiver
Posted: Mon Feb 26, 2007 9:17 am
I'm looking to buy a USB GPS receiver, to use with my carPC. So i only need a receiver i dont need a screen or anything on the GPS.
Only problem.. i know nothing at all about what sort of GPS's i want and local places seem to only be able to give me advice about the units with a screen and everything.
Does anyone have any experience with these and what sort would be good. I want to use it for SatNav in my car and possibly boating too.
A quick search of ebay shows a Sirf III chipset with 20 channels and a MTK chipset with 32 channels. Are these reasonable units, they only cost around $100 so i was thinking of just buying one and seeing. But if anyone knows that'd be great.
