[gps-talkusers] Re: Quick Battery Discharge

Todd,

There is a sleep mode on the Earthmate but as long as the BrailleNote is 
trying to access it, it won't go to sleep.

If the BrailleNote keeps trying to find a position while inside, the 
receiver seems to lose any indication of where it is in the world. Not sure 
if this is scientifically true.
