Does it really have a BMP085 barometer, or has that chip been upgraded like the rest of the MWC manufacturers?

Linear makes a completed unit, the GD00Z-4, which includes the sensor. This may be a better option yet.

Interesting question. You might try the Taylor site. My past experience has been that the calibration isn't correct if it is replaced. My friend upgraded to this unit when his failed. I will probably follow suit. ChefAlarm by ThermoWorks - (Red)

I have not done much with the sensors to date. Most of the sensors are simple digital/ analog I/O interfaces which would just require an appropriate I/O selection on the microcontroller. If you have questions about a specific module, I could take a quick look and let you know. I had the same reaction with the lack of documentation but I am an electrical engineer so I am not particularly worried about figuring out the details.

Quite a bit smaller and has an internal 90 degree tilt sensor, or angle meter, instead of the exterior bubble vile. Enables instant indirect measurements and height measurements. Maybe a couple other things as well. Meant to be used with the bosch R60 measuring rail, but that is probably irrelevant to many people. Quite honestly, I'd spend the extra just because of the size and the rechargeable factor. I love my GLM80. Im in real estate and use it constantly. My neighbor is a hardcore techno geek and he keeps trying to steal it. He's "borrowed" it twice, I think hoping i'd forget about it. LOL. Not a chance!!

Just like the wired model, the pickup sensor is located on the front fork in a location where the magnet on the spoke will trigger it. The pickup sensor then sends a wireless signal to the readout unit fastened on your handlebars. There is a flat battery in the handlebar unit and sensor on the forks. The batteries seem to last about 18 months. Only problem is you lose the data in the unit when you change batteries so it is best to record anything that you don't want to lose. If you are keen to have the unit accurate it is a bit of trial and error getting the correct figure for your wheel diameter determined. You can put the tire size in from the chart they supply, but that will only be within 5-10%. I measured a three mile route on the highway and then kept riding the bike and adjusting the figure until the three mile on the bike was the same as that of the car. So it is a bit of a pain getting this figure only to lose it when you change the battery. So if you do all that to have the meter accurate, make sure you record that figure. Overall I just love it. It beats the wired one all to hell. I have one on each of my bikes. Hope this helped.

It's the same sensor. But what I found out is the one i purchased seems to be used. The company i bought it from will say different but had to replace batteries,one didnt come with mounting plate and another had signs of being mounted once before. With all that said they work great and have no issues with sensors performance. Hope this helps?

Ditto to what was said below, with the exception that I really like the blue display. I've never had a problem seeing it and this has to be the best detector that I've ever owned. Now that I know what TFSR is, I wish it did have it!! (would be just that much better...)

I used it right out of the box, no adjustment or calibration. This was with Windows 7 and Nvidia GTX 550 Ti.

Unfortunately, the satellite reception and lock by the Nuvi 260 will vary widely depending upon the receiving technology Garmin put in it. Basically, there are two different receivers (originally there were three, one being the SiRF Star III very early on). They have (or had) either the Bravo chip (not well received), or the MTK chip (highly received), but who knows today? Garmin has a tendency to shoot from the hip, so there may be a 3rd or even a 4th receiver vendor. My 260 came with the MTK chip, and I found it to be a surprisingly good performer. So, if you can find one that has the MTK chip, you should have solid reception and decent acquisition times (rarely over 1-1/2 minutes on cold starts ... but it can happen), and usually 30-45 seconds on warm starts.

The compass only seems to function for a 5 degree range of looking "up hill or down hill". Any more elevation than that and my Barska compass seems to "drag" and be very inaccurate.

No there is no temperature sensor on this model. And im really not sure if any monitors other than pad monitors actually offer that in a video monitor

there are several different models. the premium model has everything including an altimeter. I think mine has a compass that shows a heading to a waypoint, but we are in Mexico right now and I don't have it with me.

I just received the model 365, the impact model. I think. It is the bmx one, same as for snow goggles, but with a nose guard. They were on sale at woot for 85 bucks. Anyhow, the lcd screen is merely a status screen, it tells if you are recording, no video. Also, I have looked at the spec sheet, and I don't see any optical zoom. Huh? Haven't tried it yet.

Yes it is, but I am still testing it as I find either the sensor's or light source is not even on the image scanned. It was alright at first but getting poor with usage. The 22 MP setting did not show good results either. Hope someone else can verify.

Yes it does now see updated Firmware>>>> http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/video/1313

I cannot give you a positive answer but I know I turned around once or twice to re-calibrate it for one thing. I hope you have better luck with it than I did. I junked mine it.
