You have to set it to 10Hz but that is the maximum update rate and it will output sentences at that rate. It can also do 2Hz and 4Hz and others.
I just got it so I don't know much beyond the initial impressions.
It has USB (as CDC acm serial).
It takes a bit longer to get a cold cold first time fix.
Manual and setup utility is a bit confusing - DO read the help for each page and/or the ONLINE manual for the setup.
It claims it is waterproof, but I wouldn't immerse it.
Surprisingly small (like the common sized ones that all use the same batteries but not as thick, nor long).
I'll have more to report after a test-drive and some more analysis, but so far it looks good.
First, the navicore + bluetooth has a few hiccups, so if you use BT, go direct. I'm working on porting a very efficient mnigpsd. Two big things are it eats any non recognized NMEA sentence (including the private ones which in this case have more info) and it shuffles them - yes, I got samples and sentences well out of order, but when sorted it appeared solid except for a few dropouts which may have been another artifact.
The big thing is you can have EITHER SBAS corrections (WAAS) at 5Hz - which requires a manual 200ms setting, the main tool only has 4 and 10 Hz. OR you can have 10Hz without the SBAS corrections. The accuracy isn't that much greater with WAAS, and I prefer the 10Hz. Sometimes it can do SBAS at 10Hz, but tends to drop out every so often, particularly when tracking many more than 4 satellites.
