>> Do you have any info on the power requirements between the boards? You can get it off the data sheets on their website... we checked out the Max 6Q. Really tiny part - like 8x8 mm. Really simple to drop into an existing design. 20 uA standby power. Our antenna vendor recommended them. 50 channel receiver vs Trimble's 20 (the 1218 model). Trimble claimed a cold start TTFF of 35 odd seconds... 10 sec higher than the u-blox. In my testing, we regularly saw the ublox do like 3x faster TTFF than the Trimble, beating its own claimed spec while the Trimble would miss its claimed TTFF by a mile with clear horizon view. It really wasn't competitive by my testing. The Zelia didn't work out... we needed an external antenna as Zelia was too sensitive to other component placement.
