[gps-talkusers] Re: Gps Scottsdale and me:

I remember your little contratant with Visuaide.
I had a gps talk but the keypad on the notebook went out and when I got the 
thing back from whomever the notebook had died so my dealer took the thing 
back because it was within the waranty.
I also kept loosing my signal quite frequently and getting 7 satellites was 
a luxury. Now it is simply a matter of course, that is how much things have 
improved in the last 3 years or so.
