[Electronics-talk] GPS Similar to Origional Trekker?

[Jim Barbour]

The blindsquare iPhone app is fantastic.  I'm not sure who's working
on it, but they're doing really good work.

>From what I've seen, the Sendero iPhone app is also going to be good.

There is also an APH android app that looks nice, but I haen't played
with that yet.
