Things are always changing - even new releases are already out of date
before being available. No system is able to cope with it - regardless
of choice. But Im not sure which are the most up to date.
One very annoying thing I have with mine (Holux Sirf II receiver Ipaq
5450 PDA) is the fact occasionally, the receiver doesnt seem to fire
up and locate sats. Usually I have to keep resetting (rebooting) - and
even then, its not always successful. Mostly, it doesnt matter (cos it
just eventually kick in), but if you need it to be 100% from the
start, my own one is unreliable.
Not sure if that is something to do with the PDA/Holux drivers - or
maybe a fault on the reciever. Have been toying with buying a
bluetooth receiver to upgrade - but dont like the idea of not beeing
powered direct (ie battery life of the reciever.) Not completely sure
how that all works. The ones Ive seen talk about 10 hours life and 1
week in standby. Does that mean you have to change the battery in the
receiver? Sounds like an inconvenience too far if it is.
