Had a spare day and took my 5yr old son out to test a new GPS, the G.Mouse BU-353.
Its a USB powered "puck" type with mag base (running OziExplorer on a laptop (powered from the cigar lighter)).
Anyway, I cant fault it, never lost a signal. I spent no time worry about maps are all my time driving around. :D:D
Specs:
SiRF Star III chipset
supports NMEA data protocol
159dBm sensitivity.
Nice day out, I even gave directions to some others along the way, now that's never happened before since I'm the one normally lost. :(
Trip was great, had a squiz at the ADA Tree and some old boiler/winch (no, not wench!) then found time for the Downey F/L track (nr Ada River Road), down, then back up :):) just to give the T/C and Hill Descent some work.
Pic to prove it.
Cheers chaps :)
One very happy LR owner. :D
