It would be interesting to hear more about your experiences with this receiver. I had a look around for low power GPS receivers and 35mW is VERY low. Most are 100mW+ many as high as 300mW - the lowest I found was 29mW but that's the CF one and I'd prefer RS232 (for car use and to be able to have the Newt tucked away but still receive GPS data)
Are you getting good position data from it now that you got it working? How's power consumption? Is the precision up to specs (is it a 5 metre device)? Please let us know!
Thanks,
Ola
