    >Great show on the new GPSr’s coming to market. There always seems to be a new batch of GPSr’s out after I buy an new one. This year is no different.

    Lots of options but still not the all in one I am looking for. It will happen some day but for me just not yet.

    I like the stand alone GPSr personally and then adding a phone or a PDA to the mix. I am just looking for the phone/PDA combo that I am looking for. Once the camera quality comes up I will head that route.

    Thanks again for your effort in putting out this live show.
