Mary,
Your experience is certainly different than mine. I am so pleased with my
Holux M-1000 which I just recently installed. I get WAWAS in a lot more
places, giving me accuracy in most cases to ten feet. GPS acquisition is at
least three times quicker than with the GPS-236 and I have not had any
problems with dropped connections. I use it on my shoulder in a Executive
Products case; on the PK.
Steve

Its funny, John, that you would talk about this issue. I bought a
voice sense with Sense Nav in April and with it came a Hollux
m-1000 and to me it has been the most horrible receiver since my
first Magellan 235 which simply never worked. I too get the
constant chatter of connecting and disconnecting and was blaming
the Voice Note for the problem _Until this morning when I took it
outwith my Braille Note mpower and if anything it was worse. Try
taking the receiver out of the case and see how it works. I have
had better results using it that way. It will do better in your
pants pocket. I think partly what may be going on here is that
the felt lining in the leatherett case may be blocking something.
I know I am going to get howls from lots of folks for saying that
but before you jump down my throatthis is just a hypothesis. But
I would go back to my 236 anytime. I am really disappointed in
the m-1000 for the total instability of the product.
I know that it depends on the satellites but what John and I are
experiencing is different, there is something else going on here
when it does it for me in two different machines manufactured by
two completely different companies in two different parts of the
world.
What is interesting is that with the mpower, I was still able to
get an extremely accurate reading of how far I walked. I don't
know how but it was only slightly lower than what I get on the
voice sense.

>>>I had the older Holux receiver and was having a problem with the
mPower staying connected to it while walking. It worked well
while on the bus ETC. I got a new M-100 and I get a whole lot
better accuracy and it connects and gets a fix a lot quicker but
while walking it still won't stay connected. I am not walking in
an area where there are a lot of tall buildings and we have more
clear skys than in most areas. I wear the equipment with the
receiver on my right shoulder and the mPower on my left hip. Do
you have any idea what might be going on?
