-## [Production History](../production) ##
+Compared with v2 series, v3 includes a better GPS (uBlox v8 vs v7),
+the TI CC1200 radio used in our other products instead of the CC1120
+used only in TeleMetrum v2 (more or less the same performance, but one less
+device driver for us to have to worry about!), and more accelerometer 
+range with approximately the same precision.
