Mary Ellen: I too have used the e-pack on several trips over the past three years. I must say that I have over loaded it with my laptop, keypad, Magellan GPS and a Cannon scanner. By the time I was ready to go, its weight was up to 11 pounds. However, now that I have the Braille Note with the Earthmate GPS, I have everything I had in the e-pack except for the scanner. Because of the great capability of the Braille Note I do not need all the other periphery and it only weighs about 2 pounds.

The security people can or would like to see the insides, but you don't have to fold it either. I have flown a lot with mine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Ellen Earls" <meearls@xxxxxxx> To: <gps-talkusers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 12:52 PM Subject: [gps-talkusers] Question about the e-pack: > Hi! > I was just up on sendero's web page and was having a good look at the > e-pack.
