Locosys GW-52
Details about the GW-52 can still be found on the Locosys website.
You can also find details about the device in my first impressions, written in Nov 2015.
The GW-52 superseded the GT-31 in 2015, when Locosys stopped producing the earlier model.
Observations
- SDOP on the GW-52 is typically lower than on the GW-60 watch, possibly due to a larger antenna and better shielding.
Tips
- Although an option exists in the GW52Util, do not convert the SBP files to GPX format.
- The SBP format contains all of the important GPS error information!
