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

That is too bad.
I have a BLm20 And I haven't done much about replacing it yet.
I just paid for the upgrade for JFW, and I am getting a screen reader for my 
cell phone.
Having the entire country in the laptop would be great.
I use a laptop on the job when I am in the field, and GPS talk would sure 
make my life easier.
But alas I am late again.
