Thanks for the timely correction. Very cool if true...I'm surprised that this isn't general knowledge seeing that it would save a person several thousand dollars per unit. ------------------------------------------- It's widely known, but only in certain circles--if that makes any sense whatsoever. Try news://sci.geo.satellite.nav and search the archives. You won't find all of these answers in one place, but I'll gladly share everything that I've learned. I've been at this for about seven years now, and I'm still a little obsessed. $349.00 Delorme PostPro 2.0 + Blue Logger GPS + Earthmate GPS (1) $399.99 HP iPAQ hx2495 Pocket PC (2) $ 7.95 PC-Mobile PB4A AA Battery Extender Box (3) $ 35.84 Wal-Mart 1 Gig SD Card (4) $ 53.61 12 2500 mAh NiMH AA Energizer Batteries (5) $ 28.95 PC-Mobile 27 db gain active antenna (6) ------- $880.34 (plus applicable shipping and taxes) This is my current setup. I didn't buy it all at once. It weighs about 2.5 pounds and the 12 batteries and AA adapter listed above will keep me going for four very full days in the field. A lot of my work is in the backcountry--pack in pack out--and I have been working for years to put together a setup this good and this light.
