dont buy a sony GPS, buy a holux, you get better reception and better fixes on sat's..

(so ive heard/read)

[kevinf]

but i thought for htat one, you have to mod the wires or something an di don't really want to do that

[deniska]

you can buy a factory PSP-to-holux cable..
If you go with PSP-290 and the reception is not too great your can do a DYI extention cable to get better results ;-)

[kevinf]

but is the sony one really that bad

[deniska]

it's not that bad - it's just sitting too close to PSP, which interfere with gps reception...
This interference depends on your PSP, so some people report ok performance while others are dissapointed

With sony, you have OK reception, and its slightly better in my opinion because its taylor made for the psp.
But with the Holux gps recievers, they sport higher reception and faster sattelite fixes etc. with one downside, that being the cable required.
You can buy a factory made cable though. Its not too expensive.

can you give me a link to the cable
