Hello,I thought about trying one of these devices out some time ago. but didn't like the Kapten or the plus version. now 2 questions is this new version really any better? and is the battery replaceable?

I don't think it's accurate to describe the Kapten Mobility as 'one step behind'. I have a Kapten Plus which I bought second hand, and which has now been superseded by the Kapten Mobility but it is very flexible, very responsive and so far I have found it very easy to use. The Trekker Breeze is, I think, technology which is several years old. The bottom line is that GPS, like most other technologies, is a moving target and devices have a very limited shelf life. It will be very interesting to see how the European GPS system, currently under development, improves accuracy, since with current GPS the accuracy is deliberately limited for public use by the US military.
