QStarz recently announced a new bluetooth GPS receiver which they claim is world’s most powerful. The specs on the BT-Q818 eXtreme is pretty impressive; such as the 51 channel MTK chipset, and the 32 hours of use time thanks to the low power consumption hardware. However what makes the difference is the adjustable update rate which can be somewhere between 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 this suitable for application where timing is crucial.

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