GPS Product Review

Release 3 updated, 20 December 2005

The NuVi has a new SiRF (brand) GPS signal receiver. It is definitely the most sensitive I have tested to this time. It is able to 100% of the time achieve lock inside my two story home. Other receivers would intermittently operate and lock, but this one locks quickly whenever it is turned on and (so far) has never lost lock in the house. No other receiver we have tested had this sensitivity. We note that normally lock is achieved in maybe 15 seconds. But from a cold start after being off overnight, lock may take a minute or two unless you wait for lock before you drive off in your car. Normally, this is a non-problem.

What are the Technical Specifications of the NuVi GPS? (From Garmin)

o High-sensitivity integrated 12 channel GPS receiver by SiRF (Note: The sensitivity of this receiver is one of the best we have tested.)

o WAAS/EGNOS enabled
