What is the best CF GPS on the market at the moment. I know it is subjective. I am considering the Globalsat BC-307 or the Holux GM-270.
I will be using it mainly in the motor car, with the external aerial
Would love to hear comments. |

If you are going to use it with an external patch antenna then really the card isn't going to make much difference, as they both have SiRF IIe/LP chipsets. The main difference will be the type of patch antenna you use and how good it is at picking up signals. |

Dave, and others
I will try to rephrase the question a bit while comparing between the Holux GM-270 and the Globalsat BC-307 in the following 2 cases.
1) When using the internal active antenna
2) When using the external antenna bundled in the package
Who will you go for and why?
Regards,
David |

Personally, Holux GM-270. I found it bringing in slightly more sats on average. |
