Turns out there are two versions of the geko 201, it's not just the
shell. Newer ones have a bevel around the power button and go 2.60
firmware, older max out at 2.5 (seegarmin website).

Why is this interesting? Because the 2.6 units tell you that they lock
on to EGNOS and have little 'D's by the signal bars, even gives you a
differential error. The older unit gives you no indication.

I suspect that 2.5 units might not lock on at all, despite showing a
EGNOS signal strength.

have fun,
