[world-cruising] Are new parallel gps-receiver anchor alarms faster than "old" serial ones?

    We plan on anchoring out a lot and we would like an anchor-alarm that
    is as fast and accurate as possible.

    I plan on using my Simrad RS5800 GPS as an anchor alarm. I like it
    cause of it's external relais possibilty, a feature I can't really find
    in the newer receivers.

    Would a new 12 channel, parallel receiver provide better results?
    I mean better in terms of
    1. accuracy (due to waas, dgps, etc)
    2. speed (as in earlier releasing the alarm due to faster calculations)

    Thanks in advance.

    Fair winds,
    Len.
