I am curious as to what the accuracy of these small gps units would
be? We have used a trimble pathfinder pro for submeter accuracy. I
have seen some small gps units which have accuracies of about 80
meters, which seems pretty rough for locating places or mapping
purposes.

> Charlene, We are embedding a GPS chipset the size of your thumb into ruggedised PDAs. We also manufacture wearable GPS systems for GIS data capture. We pioneered firemapping in real-time from a helicopter to a ground GIS (arcView) Also I have an interesting research project that reads the speed
of horses as well as other biosensors.
