What's the difference?

Is anyone using 16 channel without problems?

Hey Ratzz,

Most of the time you will see less than 10 sats and even with 6 or 7 you will get accuracy less than 5m. I use a 16 channel one for TomTom (usually only seeing 7 sats) and it's never let me down yet. If you are thinking of getting it for Sat Nav then 16 channels is enough.

My bro is using a 32 channels with a PDA TomTom.. I'm not sure if it is his PDA or the compability, but the 32 channels isnt that impressive anyway, I'm not sure if 16 channels will be the same or worst
