Well, it really depends on what is going on weatherwise and satellite wise.
Last week, one day, for example no it was the week before, I was in an area
which I walk every day and I had no signal for about 600 feet.
Now, the next day and every day since, when I have traveled in that same
area I have had no problems with the signal at all.
I have never used the trekker in a car and plan to do so sometime next week
just to see how it operates.
Now there is a place where I have to go in an enclosure to get to the street
corner. I have no problems loosing the signal with the delorme but I would
imagine with the trekker I may loose the signal. I dono. I think if it isn't
raining this afternoon I'll take the trekker down there to see what happens.
I also want to cross over into a park area in the middle of our town's
business district to witness what the trekker does.
A bit of a round-about answer, perhaps but I have not had as much experience
with the trekker because I like to know the distance I have walked which the
trekker does not give me.
