Just a snippet from a Motorola brochure on their new(ish) GPS chip:
"The Instant GPS chip can detect GPS signals as low as –153dBm, equivalent to the signal level received in Los Angeles from a 100 watt light bulb burning in Japan."
and we complain about only getting 15m accuracy in some places!
Amazing gadgets, these GPSrs
