my GPSr, like everyones, requires line-of-sight to many satelites. Poster #2 is a dim-wit. This is a breakthrough for many reasons.
When I'm deep in the bush, my GPSr cannot recieve a signal with heavy tree cover - if it does, it is spuradic and inaccurate. Arguably, this is also the time when I need it the most.
I've also pulled it out in downtown city centers and anyone will tell you it is fairly useless on such streets surrounded by tall buildings, etc. So for vehicle navigation and whatnot it is useful.
It's not about getting a map to the nearest bathroom either.. GPS is an amazing and useful technology. I formerly also believed it was a pay-for-service until I investigated it and purchased a GPSr myself.. one of the best purchases I've ever made.
