QStarz recently announced a new bluetooth GPS receiver which they claim is world’s most effective. The specs on the BT-Q818 eXtreme is pretty impressive; such as the 51 channel MTK chipset, and the 32 hours of use instance thanks to the low capability consumption hardware. However what makes the difference is the adjustable update rate which can

be somewhere within 1 and 5Hz. Hz is cycles per second so when you move it up to 5Hz you can get position updates 5 times every second making that suitable for application where timing is crucial.

We’ll let you know when BT-Q818 eXtreme becomes available at online retailers.
