@filey - but then your keys will know precisely where they are {but they always did "I'm here"} but that still won't tell you!

Any idea when these might start to make their way into Sat Navs etc? I'd like to upgrade my very very old Tomtom but i'll probably hold off if these are fairly imminent.

Wow! The SiRF Star III was a fantastic GPS chip so if this one is even better then it will indeed be worth waiting for.

@GearGeek one of the TomToms based on the III chipset will do you very nicely indeed (I have a Go 720 so blessed). They will probably use the IV but probably at least 6 months before release of products.

Tony Walker, thanks for that. 6 months might be just a little bit too long, so i might go for a current TomTom. Do all the current range use the III chip and if not is it relatively easy to find out which do and which don't?

@GearGeek

Tomtom themselves just quote "a high sensitivity chipset". I've just googled "go 740 sirfstar" though and that appears to use it. Can't imagine the others wont though you can always google and double check.
