BT338 or BT359?

[FlyingsCool]

Ok, I'm narrowing my choices, but having great difficulty choosing between the Globalsat BT338 and BT359.

I like the BT359 for its somewhat smaller size. But it appears to have less battery life.

The BT338 seems to be about the same accuracy, but with longer battery life.

Are either of these more flexible or accurate in any way?
I can't really seem to find any features or performance parameters that would help me choose one over the other.

I'll be using it with an HP hx4705 WM2003 with Pocketmap Navigator and PocketFMS mostly in my airplane, car, and hiking in that priority. When in the car and airplane, I plan on plugging them in to power. But for hiking, the longer battery life is appealling. I think WAAS is important to me also, but appears to be fully supported by both.

Thanks,

Hi FlyingsCool,

I own a couple of BT-338s. I have not seen a BT-359 in the flesh.

I'm very happy with the performance of the BT-338 and its battery life.

As the BT-338 is not that much bigger you do need to weigh up the slightly extra size with the better battery life.

Regards,
