Handy Handheld GPS Receivers |
The numerous handheld GPS Receivers in the market make it difficult to make a choice. Most receivers have similar specification but often differ in price. This is confusing and its best to compare popular handheld GPS Receivers with complete manufacturer specifications.
When selecting a portable handheld unit, consider the variety of situations in which you could use it. Don't overlook the fact that the same GPS receiver used off-road can also be used when walking in strange towns, hiking, bicycling, boating, or marking landmarks like gas stations or restaurants on long road trips. Most dashboard GPS units are portable.
In general handheld GPS receivers are used for absolute positioning using WAAS/EGNOS signals. The positioning is realized using code pseudo-ranges. Moreover some of the handheld receivers use phase-smoothed code for positioning. This means that the phase signal is available and may be used for Precise Differential GPS positioning.
Handheld GPS receivers are useful for road navigation, hiking, and fishing as they provide navigational guidance for outdoor activities. They can be used for simple documentation purposes to get you in the right vicinity. Within the past several years, low-cost GPS receivers with WAAS differential correction have entered the market to provide suitable reception for several activities. Many of the new low-cost receivers are using SiRFstarII chipsets. There may be different brand names when looking for a receiver but this is one indicator to look for in a low-cost receiver. |
