1 Receiver alone when available 2 This is for information purposes only as I have no vested interest in any link provided. I'll try to update the links to show the best price available let me know if you know of a better place 3 These appear to be OEM versions of the Haicom line of GPS receivers. It seems Pharos have repackaged the Haicom models, both CF and mouse, while Teletype has used the original Haicom designs. Haicom GPSr's are sold separately in Europe but not in the US. 4 Same as Royaltec RGP-2202, who are the original designers
