Jim,
I too was surprised at how few satellites I received. I think it has to do a
lot with the tall and dense trees along with the sheer granite rock. About
an hour and a half into the Replay the satellites begin to roll in rather
nicely. Every time I stopped I would stop the Replay and continue to append
to it when I started off again. There was actually a time when I forgot to
resume the appending, but no worries there are User POIs and audios to fill
that in.
If anyone would like to check out:

There is an article that made the front page that a reporter we met on the
trip wrote up about me hiking up Half Dome.
Kevin
