[Loadstone] LoadStone and Internal GPS receiver of N85 and N95?

[Ari Moisio]

Hi

  Where does these claims come that internal gps's use sirf-ii chipsets? I 
have 
one old Globalsat that does have sirf-ii chipset and one cannot  talk 
the receiver of say N82 and that old receiver on same sentence.

  I have found that the build-in receiver is not as accurate as best 
sirf-iii receivers but it beats for example Holux M-1000 (MTK-1) both in 
accuracy and reliability. Also with AGPS enabled  N82 acquires the 
satellites much faster than any other receiver i have used, including 
MTK-2-based Qstarz 816. To be honest  the Qstarz has better accuracy on 
slow speeds.
