Farm Works has recently completed a great deal of testing comparing the new CF GPS receivers (installed with Sirf III chipset) to the previous line of CF GPS receivers (installed with Sirf II chipset).  Our testing shows with the new CF GPS receivers (Sirf III) the accuracy is excellent, and at times better than the previous generation.  Based on the results of the test it was an easy decision to offer the better GPS receiver.
