Hello

I currently have an old ish GPS mouse receiver for my laptop.

I was in London yesterday and started to lose satellite's due I think to the high buildings.

A this is an old ish (2-3 years) receiver would it pay me now to go for a newer one. Also I was told there is another type of receiver out now "SiRF ". Would that improve my reception, in such situations, and the start up (warm up) times.

Thanks

Yeah if your get the SiRF STAR III based GPS you should get a better signal and improved TTFF, look at the Holux 213 for cabled or somthing like the Holux 236, Globalstat 338 or TomTom BT MK2

I am looking to upgrade my GPS Mouse.

All the stuff I seem to be reading relates to PDA's I use a laptop with Navigator 4.3 from Directions.

I have noticed this Globalsat BR-355 Sirf Star III. Is this going to work with my setup?, or are there better options?

Cheers
