passdump Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I am forever reading how good the Sirf Star III chips are. Does any one know who makes the Venture Cx chip and if they know where I might get some more detailed info on the chip? Thanks Quote Link to comment
+Sputnik 57 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 It is made by Media Tek and seems to be as good, maybe drawing a little less power. A discussion of the two is in this thread, among others. Quote Link to comment

passdump Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) I think the chip in the Venture Cx and the Legend Cx is a Garmin chip. Any names or id numbers for that chip? (Just to clarify, its just the plain ol' Venture Cx, not the new 'H' model) Edited August 22, 2007 by passdump Quote Link to comment

However, it is possible that those modules incorporate the same Garmin chip as the Cx line. Quote Link to comment
