There is no physical difference in the device they are exactly the same both made by Emtac. The socket one has a Socket logo on the antenna.



The difference is with the supplied accessories. Originally the Emtac came with a mains power adapter, a CD with software aand manual and a leather case. The Socket version came with a car charger and nothing else. I am not sure what the Socket version comes with now.

The socket I got from Expansys recently came with car charger with y adaptor for powering the Socket and the Pocket PC and also the leather case with a belt hook/loop. There was no CD or manual but you can download Crux View from the Emtac website and the manuals are there in PDF format. However, I didn't actually need them as the thing worked with TTN and Memory Map straight out of the box.

Both messages were most reassuring, so now only Royal Mail stands between moi and navigational heaven.

Socket give a 3 year warranty for their BT GPS Receiver. That's well impressed me.

Can't find what any info on Emtac's warranty.

Is it possible to use a mains adapter for the Globalsat BT-308 with a Socket BT GPS or can I purchase the mains adapter for the socket GPS separately?

Yes you can, or you can just use a regular iPAQ desk charger.
