I have that same chip in my GPS unit, it works awsome. Picks up the sats in like 10 secs of startup and always grabs at least 6 at any given time. Works sometimes when i'm even indoors.

Now the real question .... is it stealth like the STi? if not not good for me

No, it isn't stealthy because that would cut into the STi's sales. It is probably just as easily detected by a RDD as the 8500 X50.

According to the last SML test, the 8500 X50 was detected by the Spectre III an average of 529 feet away which is a little bit worse than the 2 Cobras it was tested against so the 9500i is probably the same.

If this new unit had the STI undetectability it would basically eliminate STI sales at this price point unfortunately. I still think there should be an STI variant of this, I mean why do us northerners get farked

Isn't that why you're all up there?

The 9500i looks sick. I'm getting one for sure, though probably not until next August or so after the inevitable bugs have been worked out. I am definitely not going to be one of the February shipment beta testers. :shock:
