Just out of interest, does anyone know why the Sigem SGM5610 GPS module, later rebranded as the Mobile Knowledge MKN5610, seems to be very popular? I can't find a spec for 1PPS accuracy in either the data sheet or manual so wouldn't expect too much demand for timing purposes, but of all the files I've made available over the past few years via my Rapidshare account this one consistently tops the "best seller" list, and I don't recall posting notice of its availability anywhere other than here. Demand for most files tails off as they get uploaded elsewhere and become more generally available but this one just continues to flow out the door at a steady trickle, it's up to 260 downloads now and with no signs of it stopping anytime soon:-) Regards Nigel GM8PZR

Yes, interesting... I have never downloaded but maybe in those files there is a utility, a viewer, a document that is useful with other GPS receivers or even for other purposes.

Oh, is it the 48MB .PDF I have just seen? Then no utilities... this is very strange. On Sat, Jul 14, 2012 at 4:22 PM, Azelio Boriani <azelio.boriani@screen.it>wrote: > Yes, interesting...
