Hi Doug, I have both the Garmin gps 10 and the holux 236. In my use of the garmin gps 10, if i had it on the shoulder strap it would just be a matter of time, (seconds or minutes) before the receiver would drop the fix. When riding in a cab I would need to put the receiver either on the seat next to me, or against the window. as long as it was about a foot from my body it would work good. I would also keep it in a backpack. Now the holux. I have not had any issues with the holux not being able to maintain a fix against my body on the shoulder strap. Also the holux has the newer serf 3 chip set where the garmin uses the serf2 chip set. The Holux can get a fix within a minute most times. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me.
