Works in my bit of central England. As noted elsewhere ttff is a bit slow, but 
probably no worse than my Garmin Geko. Tracklogs from tangogps are no worse 
than from the Garmin, probably better, and once it's got the fix it holds it 
better than the Garmin. I'll try to test them side by side over the weekend. 
I don't have an external antenna to compare.
