u-blox GPS module operates at 1.8V, 40% less than competitors

I have no idea which specific products will use the new u-blox NEO GPS modules, but rest assured the ones that do will use 40% less juice for the navigational component. The Swiss company unveiled the NEO 5D and 5G modules which measure in at 12×16x2.4 millimeters. Small is good, but power efficient is even better when talking about radios in mobile handheld devices. The new NEO chips run on 1.8 Volts, not 3 Volts like most other similar modules.How well do the u-blox GPS chips work? I can’t say from any personal experience, but if you’ve used the USB device bundled in the Microsoft MapPoint 2009 with GPS Locator package, that’s a u-blox GPS radio in the locator.
