Oh there is no comparason. I dislike the sportrak. I have had that thing
tell me I was 5 miles away from where I was and the Earthmate does seem to
be a lot more accurate.
I did a kind of informal study when I first got the earthmate walking the
same route first with the sportrak and I came away with 1.68 miles.
Then I took out the Magellan 310 and walking the same route it came up with
1.72 miles. Then I took the Earthmate and walked same route and the total
had risen to 1.75 miles.
I kept loosing signals with the sportrak so have all but quit using it
simply because it is simply flaky as puff pastry.
Now this is just my findings. There may be a whole lot of people on this
list who prefer the Sportrak and hay that's perfectly fine.
It is a wonderful looking receiver but from what has been discussed there
was or I should say were problems with the cables. So I don't know, Mike you
certainly can chime in here to give us an idea why you all switched to the
earthmate.
