Garmin calls it high sensitivity but thats marketing .... Maybe better than very old Garmin devices but much worse compared to a SiRF III I have a new Hcx and compared multiple times. Only 60, Oregon, Colorado use a SiRF III and they are much better in accuracy but drain batteries like crazy. Still like the Hcx because it's smaller and battery life is very important on long hikes.
