The cost is similar to other receivers, I don't remember how much they were exactly. The solar one has a button to turn it on and off, the g66 actually has a touch pad on the top. Admitedly with that one, if you haveno vision, you wouldn't be able to tell if it was on, but you can feel the touch pad, it has a round indent to it.

Mike, what are the controls like on the receivers? Do they hav toggle on/off switches? What is the battery life if you don't use the solar cells? What is the Sattelite acquisition time on both? Oh yah, and what is the cost for each?

They are both made by global top, I can't remember the model number on one of them, but it's actually solar powered. If the receiver is exposed to light, it will actually charge the battery using the solar panel. There is also a USB port for charging. The second receiver is the g66, this one is about the sizeof a creddit card, and it's the most accurate receiver yet. It uses the new MTK 66 channel chip set, and according to Mobile Geo, is accurate within 9 feet, it also works great with Way Finder access. The solar receiver uses the MTK 51 channel chip set, which is also very accurate.
