How do these chipsets compare to the SiRF starIIe/LP (low power) chipsets?
I wonder if they are more sensitive. Currently denser tree cover, while
problematic even for the best units, is better with the IIe chipset (and
external ant.) but it still has issues. I had read at one point that the
III would be more sensitive but have not found any new details, at least not
from actual users.
