Dear Tech Support,
as I read in the description of the Ultimate GPS it is tested till 25 km above ground. At UKHAS I read you are about to bring out a version that should be ok >40 km.
Can you give me a date when this version will be available?

Re: Ultimate GPS for HAB
Thanks - we will check that out. The theoretical firmware limit is 40km. As a note - we have had reports from people saying that it works great in HAB and some reports that it lost altitude readings at a certain point (the max so far has been 32km, see link below). We don't HAB (NYC Isnt so HAB friendly!) so we can't guarantee that it will work in all HAB at all altitudes!
