Comments on: GPS decisions http://blog.xcski.com/2006/03/18/gps-decisions Everything I used to bore people on newsgroups and mailing lists with, now in one inconvenient place.

Plus it could make a good backup palmos widget (though there is no legal obligation to use the device as such). It seems better in almost every way, at least on paper, me not having seen a 296 up close lately.

I'm starting to reconsider my Palm based GPS idea.. It's good in that it's multipurpose and I an run flightplanning related software in the Palm environment, and the GPS attachment does work well...but it's difficult to view the screen in flight. And that, of course, is the endgame when it comes to GPS units. Drop me an email. Still got this available, Paul? I’m starting to reconsider my Palm based GPS idea..
