I just got the PK and for sure I love it and spoiled???? O yes, it's so easily carried around and so nice to not have wires hanging all over.
The question is how people have learned to tell when the GPS is on or off? There is no sound and all I can think is checking if the PK has a signal. Also do you have to have it turned on all the time when it's charging?
Second user question is how to turn on the unit and find out where you are if you're in an unformiliar place, do not know the town or county just the state. Is there a way to have GPS identify for you where you are? Thanks

Yes, but Humanware Canada already has accessable pda's.
I am intrigued with Maestro but I have to admit once you have started using the pk you are so utterly spoiled it isn't funny.

Hi all,
Was at sight village yesterday and did not see any other gps receivers.
I found it so busy that I did not try and see if my fortuna works with the mpower or street talker.
it was very noisy and crowded and a real look at anything is difficult.
very interesting with sendero testing out the new receivers.
I wonder if Debbie can tell me the name of the receiver she is using and if it has the new chip set?
managed to look at the talking pda's or should I say a pda with some access.
There is to be the codefactory software and dolphin software on pdas in the next few months.
maybe the access to gps on pda's will not be as good as our wayfinder or definitely the braillenote gps system.
I feel portability is everything when using gps. it's not so bad if that is all you carry but the pk is so small and you can use an ear piece.
look forward to the future.
