That's correct, and a good thing because the u-blox is way better than even the SiRF-III, let alone the execrable IV. Really excellent weak-signal performance. Example: http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Receiver-G-mouse-Antenna-Navigation/dp/B017BJ3KTU >Eric reports that gpsd had nasty troubles with the SiRF-S4 aka Star Vi. Gary got bit before I did. The IV's weak-signal sensitivity is very poor, and the fimware has a bad tendency to lock up when sent any kind of config command. They seem to have sacrificed every other quality metric to lower power draw. > It's newer than the -S3 (aka Star III) so I expect the S3 may be impossible > to get any more. If you can find one, I'd grab it unless the price is insane. Get a u-blox instead. *I* need to have a SiRF-III for test purposes, but that doesn't mean anyone else does. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/";>Eric S.
