    I'd buy one if I hadn't already bought a Garmin GPS 15H. Ah well, when the time comes to replace it there will be GPS/GLONASS/Galileo combo units on the market
    I'm seriously looking into buying this card.

    However, I'm a bit unclear as to if the antenna here on the sites store will be able to hook up to it?

    I should only need that card, right? Would I need anything else other than an extension cable?

    Hey Red,

    I just ordered this Sirf III eval board to replace my Garmin 15L. I'm hoping to get better sat coverage when driving near trees/buildings.

    You can buy either the board by itself or as a kit. I'm getting just the board since I already have an antenna, and I will hook it up to the RS232 port on my mobo and power it from 5v.

    The kit comes with the board, an active antenna, serial cable, lithium battery and wall power supply (which you probably won't need).

    I've been using that Sirf III board for a couple months now. Works great - almost instant lock and pretty much continuously tracks at least 6 sats, even under trees and around buildings.

    I'm using the ET301 (without the battery), and am very happy with it.

    I regularly get 8 sats locked, and by the time I boot up, it's already locked. If you're not completely shutting down every time you exit the car, you'll want the battery.

    click on the 'datasheet' link, it will have all of the information you need, including the connector type.
