[OSM-talk] Slightly OT: Best bluetooth GPS chipset?

Hi

Does anyone have experience with how the NEMERIX chipset compares to the 
RFMD chipset, especially in the area of bluetooth GPSs?

I currently have a RFMD based bluetooth gps, and I find it's normally very 
fast to aquire signal, and normally gives very accurate tracks. That said, 
it does occasionally have a strop (several minutes where it knows where 
the satellites are, is picking up the time, but refusing to give a fix, in 
open skies).

I would expect it'd be better than a NEMERIX one, since it has 32 channels 
instead of 16, but I thought I should check before spouting this as true!

Cheers
Nick
