    5.6.6 is available with a built-in latest-generation GPS SiRFstarIII receiver, allowing you to display and memorise the position of the device when taking measurements. The incorporation of SiRFstarIII functions makes the receiver extremely sensitive and precise, allowing exact positioning even in built-up areas with poor satellite visibility. The GPS is enabled/disabled through the configuration menu as explained in section 5.3.
