With these new small subnotebooks, not much larger than a BN, a version of sendero might be worht thinking about. You can get an ASUS EEE 900 from www.buy.com for less than $400.

Although I think that putting GPS on a lap top would be a giant step backwards, I do think that there might be a market for the limited version to be put on a standard computer. The name escapes me, but I am thinking about the version that does not allow for GPS. It would be for those who would want to check out a route in vertual mode before or after walking the route. As for R and D on this, though, I think time might be better spent on continuing development of the software on a cell phone. Now that is easily portable. I think the price would be less than that of a PDA plus the GPS software. Joleen
