Thank you for any input.
I have used the MRT GPS system on a gos in wooded terrain and had no trouble acquiring satellites. In fact it worked pretty well in my living room and I have a metal roof so all of the signal was really coming from the bay window. Didn't work in the kitchen though....

Be aware that any GPS receiver with batteries will take a while to acquire the satellites if it has to "cold start" minus the ephemeris data which allows it to start up faster. Depending on the cloud cover and such it can take a while but once it acquires enough satellites to get a fix you are good to go. That usually takes a few minutes. My Garmin GPS in the truck can take 5 minutes sometimes if the weather is crappy.
