Everything, at least in the electronics world, keeps getting smaller. For proof, look at your cellular phone or the DBR-IV differential GPS beacon receiver/antenna from Magellan systems. The unit measures all of 5.2 inches long, 5.1 inches wide and 3.3 inches high, and weighs less than one pound.

The unit's small size doesn't come at the expense of operating features. It has dual independent channels for tracking local differential broadcast frequencies, and an auto-scanning function that will lock onto the closest beacon signal. A second channel then begins a background search for the next strongest signal. The result, according to the manufacturer, is GPS accuracy to within 3 meters.

The DBR-IV connects to all Magellan DGPS-ready chartplotters and hand-held GPS receivers, as well as other GPS units that accept an RTCM standard input. The unit can be upgraded in the field with new software releases by connecting to a PC computer.

Retail price for the DBR-IV is $299.
