SiRFstar III is a GPS processing chip manufactured by SiRF Technology, Inc. It is used in some newer portable GPS units such as the Garmin GPSMap 60CSx. It is able to acquire a fix much better than older chips. It works in many cases in narrow streets, in trains, sometimes even indoors, where older chips don't get a useable signal any more. The chip uses 200,000 correlators to fix the position, and will operate on 20 channels with signals as low as -159 dBm. Also supports WAAS.
