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.
