Updated 12/05 Good news, I received the shipping version of the SD-502 for testing purposes, and this one holds the fix and tracks just as well as the BT-338 in the narrow streets of Nogent, even though signal levels are quite a bit lower. Better performance than the Loox N520 with its built-in SiRFIII GPS too and the HP6515's produced its usual "inaccurate" track...Click here to get the full picture.
Updated 10/21/05 - A bit more than a year after the release of the SD-501, the first SD GPS to be fully operational but that lacked on board memory, here comes the much anticipated SD-502, powered by a SiRFstarIII chipset and with 512Mb of memory onboard.
... First shown at CeBIT in March 2005 (full report), then at Computex in June (full report), Globalsat fine tuned it until they were happy with it. I received a test model this morning, and you can catch up with the first pictures and comments (especially about compatibility) in this thread of the forums.
Availability is scheduled for November and you can be pre-order it from Semsons for $170 with 10% off for GpsPasSion Club members.
Posted 08/29/04 It's always nice to discover new GPS software or hardware, so GpsPasSion is glad to bring you its first SD GPS Review and I'm happy to report that the Globalsat SD-501 is the first fully functional SD GPS I have used......! This GPS is available at Semsons as the iTrek SD GPS for $126 (after GpsPasSion Club discount)
