I'm finally getting rid of my Delorme Earthmate GPS unit. It has served me
well these past 10 years. I will certainly miss having to
boot up my laptop, plug the thing into the serial port of my OLD laptop
because the newer ones do not have the serial port and to use that USB to
se
tions if you would end up
forgetting it or if you simply just to have such a adapter in each car you and

This might sound off-the-wall, but you could do a lot worse than pick
an iPhone. The GPS in it works really very well, compass and all.
In terms of ruggedness, one of my staff members dropped his iPhone
from a tower 110' up. Stupid, I know, but he was trying to talk to the
guy on the ground.

Good God, half the cell phones on the planet have GPS built into them.
I used a Motorola Razr as a GPS on my last trip to Virginia a couple of
years ago. iPhones and Blackberry's and Palm Pre's have them and the
ability to link them to Google Maps. Job's done.
Why carry a separate GPS? I d
Because 1/2 the cell phones on the planet don't have GPS
Because not everyone carries a cell phone.
Because sometimes it may be necessary to have the cell phone to talk on
while looking at the GPS.

Yep, we all have iPhones as well
Most of the "GPS" capability on cell phones is quasi GPS using cell
tower locations to give location data.
When there is only 1 cell tower in the area, it is sorta hard to do
triangulation!

thinking of spending to get a dedicated GPS. A new cell phone (if it

My Nextel i720 (when I used Nextel) had real GPS. You have to look
carefully, but lots of cell phones have real GPS receivers in them. If
I'm on a tower, I'm using bluetooth so I have my hands free and then I
can look at the GPS at the same time. the iphone doesn't multi-task.
