[nabs-l] GPS Products aned Software

[Kat Bottner]

	Hello all,
I too am looking into getting a gps system at some point in the nearer
future, and I'm not sure which one to get.
I'm currently borrowing the Kaptan Plus from work, and so far I've not been
able to use it much due to it needing to be charge and today, it took
forever to find gps signel, so in short, wasn't able to use it.
I'm not sure which is better the breeze or the Kaptan, I'd be interested in
hearing responses from users of both, the pros, con, etc.  I look forward to
hearing from some or all of you soon.
Thanks in advance,
Kat

Jewel,
I use the Trekker Breeze. It's fairly easy to use, but you really
can't rely on any GPS unit. I've noticed two main flaws with the
Trekker Breeze. First, it announces landmarks when you are on the same
street, not at the actual destination and/or landmark. Second, if it's
a cloudy day, Trekker can get thrown off. (Cloud cover makes
connecting to GPS satellites difficult.) Other than that, Trekker
Breeze is a good GPS if you already have the mobility skills.
