|

Thinking of replacing my CF Pretec with a bluetooth to run TTN3.
So what does the panel think is the best one? _________________ iPhone5, TomTom, Google maps, Navfree, Viewranger and Apple Maps (ekk) |

My personal opinion: The DeLorme Blue Logger because it has 50 000 data points _________________ Lutz

You may want to rethink your question. "What is the best receiver" is too vague. What do you want to use it for? What is important for you? _________________ Lutz

It all depends on whether you want rock solid reliability (in terms of no returns) to battery life, just as Lutz says.
Personally the GlobalSat/DConnex I take with me on most journeys now due to the extended battery. However if I want something a little slimmer, then the EMTAC ould be my second choice. |

Thanks for all your comments..
To be more descriptive, it is moving between cars has been the issue...
At least with a Bluettoth one I do not need to worry about recabling as I do now as my Pretec is lousy without the external aerial.
So it will be car based, not behind a reflective screen, occassionaly used on flights (I have a helicopter pilots licence) and needs to see the sky a damn sight better that the Pretec ever was...
