A most interesting article on the new antenna firmware upgrade for SiRFstarIII GPS receivers and SiRFatlas and SiRFtitan multifunction SoC navigation processors Antenna upgrade. It not only talks about the upgrade, but detail how sats are acquired by SIRF. Surprising info. A must read if you are a gadget guy.

FYI, I called Garmin Support to see if this was the update we got a few weeks ago. 30 minute wait. I gave up. I think it was. I hope so.

Looks like Garmin is not the only GPS maker buying this upgrade. Yeah, looks $$ for it came from somewhere. Probably another "Thanks Garmin" for this one.
