Bluetooth GPS Receivers (Technical and Sales advice)

[Guest ricky10]

Hi

I'm currently researching GPS receivers for my SPV M3100.

I thought I'd throw this one to the floor.

My budget is around £40-£50

It would seem the choice of weapon is having a sirfstar III chipset. Any comments on RFMD chipset?

Now I have seen a sirfstar receiver I like at http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/10939.htm {OPTION 1}

the other option was the RFMD chipset http://www.kaali.co.uk/index.pl?art=110 {OPTION 2}

My one dilema is that my car has an athermic windscreen (Heat Reflective). I am thinking I might need an external antenna, so option 2 would be the choice as option 1 does not have extenal antenna capabilites.

I do prefer option 1 as it is smaller and the tracking sensitivity is -159dBm or better compared to option 2s -157dBm (which I have read IS a BIG difference!)

So my questions are

1) Chiposet (see above)

2) Has anyone used there device without an external antenna whilst in a car with an athermic windscreen? (What has been the performance? As they say you can put it in your glove box)

3) Option 1, Option 2 or can anyone else recommend otherwise

Thanks

Ricky

I'd highly recommend the QStarz BT-Q810. Reviewed by Paul on this site, and also got several great reviews elsewhere on the web.

I picked mine up on ebay for £40, next day delivery. I wouldn't want anything else. I'm not sure how it works with one of yer special windscreens (or if my car has one :¬/ ) but I'm sure I read somewhere it can have an external antenna plugged in (80% - don't quote me).
