The Next "improvement is the SiRF III chipset, which seems to make a
world of difference. I have 3 gps's now, my Magellan, the USB [pharos]
that comes with map-point, and a Pro-gin SGM-207 which is also USB. The
Pro-gin is by far the fastest and most accurate of the three, when used
side by side....
