Which to get, Fortuna Clip-On or Holux GR-231???

[duncan888]

I am after a BT GPS reciever, I have narrowed my choice to these two devices but cannot make my mind up which to get.
They both have high sensitivty which I want.
The Fortuna can change the mode from standard to XT mode
The Holux from what i've gathered is always on high senitivity mode, but uses version 2.02 of the firmware.

What I am worried about the the Holux is any delays on gps updates, does version 2.02 overcome the delays (the Fortuna has a delay when set to XT mode)

Any advice will be ver helpful

Thanks

I've plumped for the 231. A mate has a Fortuna.

231 has slightly longer claimed battery life and I think has better build. Its a littke more expensive, and a little larger.

I'm not sure about the 231's XT software. Only thing I've noticed short term is sometimes TTN3 seems to show me a little 'behind' where I actually am, leading to voice instractions that can be a few seconds late. Sometimes.

Not been able to put Fortuna and 231 side by side, but will do when I next see my mate.

Never had 8 sats all locked on with a Garmin V in my car, and I've got that with the 231...

Trade off will be between losing lock and having to re-aquire it, and getting odd but near positions with XT. Is something wrong better than nothing...
