hello ,

little review of haicom HI-202E

USB version

Very POOR receiving from satelites , in rain almost no reception.
very slow respons , when stopped at the red light , pointer goes on for about 2 to 3 seconds. so no accurate positioning.

result RETURN to STORE for another BRAND with SIRFii/LP

I got one of these...works ok

With that signiture I wouldn't think you were worried about rain!

I have the same GPS as you and get problems in certain areas of the UK, most of the time it is OK though!

i ve read a review off it , and it was BAD.

yesterday i bought a royaltek saphhire RGM-2000
the result was much better even when the eye is not at the windows it receives .
so much better

I have one also, it tends to struggle when there is heavy cloud coverage.

don't have an issue with speed of reaction when it does pickup.

BOND007BE · 12-19-2003, 05:27 AM

me happy that i got my money back because for me it was a pain in the ***.

it wasn't usable at all.

for those who have them and are happy ,so much the better,

i only wanted to share my experience with it

ps (it was in BELGIUM) where i tested it, with no clouds at all

Hi Bond007be,

Where did you read this review? I've been using and selling the 202 series for ages and never seen a problem with them. Most GPS mouses (mice?) use the same GPS engine so there's little it any difference in performance just in aesthetics. I keep mine in the glovebox in the car and still get 7 or 8 satellites. I can't say I've ever seen the performance significantly affected by cloud cover either.

I have had the 202E for about 2 years and have never really had good performance from it. I have used it in the front of the car, the side window and mainly the rear and never had much success, I am in the middle of looking for a replacement. These are my experiences.

I would also like to see the review

SUPERB

the RGM how quickley does it update and is it accurate. my HI - 202E tends to lag about a few miliseconds behind so I can actualy miss junctions

updating depends on gpssoftware

alturion updates every second.

never missed a junction .

only when junctions are VERY VERY close to eachother.

but thats because of the accuracy of the gpsmouse

Hi, im new here and new to gps, i'm in UK and just bought Haicom 204E and infomap navigator 1.3.9. got it to work eventually (despite no instructions, cheers!) not that impressed so far, takes ages to start to work, and software has lots of bugs, and it has had the annoying habit today of giving me the voice instructions too late, like when i'm past the junction! Anyone know how to adjust it or something? how do i get it to remember where it was after a pitstop? and is it possible to save and load journeys? Thanks!

mine works fine. haicom 202e
+ it seems a lot of those issues are software.
