 Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2005 12:35 pm Post subject: GlobalSat SD502 SDIO GPS with memory |
 |
|
 When we were at CeBIT earlier this month we saw a new SDIO GPS receiver from GlobalSat. At the time we had no information about it other than it had memory included.
GlobalSat have now provided us with more information and we can now reveal the specifications of the receiver. We now know that it will be a SiRF StarIII receiver with up to 512Mb of memory on board.
This should be available in stores early summer.

Hi all.
We are all very excited about this new product.
Quick update:
Our initial launch date is May 2005. This is subject to change.
A review copy will no doubt be winging its way to the guys at PocketGPS before then.

So am I. I am in regular contact with GlobalSat though and as far as I can work out they are going through their final QA processes at the moment.

Strangely I was speaking to GlobalSat today and they are talking about October, hopefully in the first week.
The specs and design of this look great, but they wont let us get our hands on an early sample for review.
