Return To GPS FAQ Archive   What is the difference on my GPS between 12 channel and 16 channel? Answered By Editor A 12-channel GPS receiver contains 12 channels reserved for satellite communication purposes. On the other hand, a 16-channel GPS receiver also contains 12-channel preset intended for satellite communication. The additional channels provides faster lock-on, enhanced up-to-date information, and the capability of staying locked-on even if you are in so-called "challenging areas" (such as locations blocked by mountains, tall buildings, and valet slopes or heavily-enclosed areas.) keywords: GPS | Global Positioning System | GPS System | Radio Frequency | GPS Receiver | Channels Garmin Streetpilot C530 Gps Garmin Gpsmap 76s
