The assumption here is that the cellular telephone has good quality GPS reception and has the mapping software installed on it.  Since you really shouldn't go walking without a phone, just in case, having an all-in-one device is very attractive.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kelmon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 24th 2009 8:19AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DeLorme kicks out waterproof Earthmate PN-30 GPS device]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/delorme-kicks-out-waterproof-earthmate-pn-30-gps-device/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/delorme-kicks-out-waterproof-earthmate-pn-30-gps-device/</guid><description><![CDATA[Until phones can use the GPS for multiple hours without running out of juice then a standalone GPS unit is what I will stay with.  Just keeping a couple extra AA batteries to swap out when the power gets too low is a lot easier than swapping out a Phone battery (If the phone allows that).<br>I do Search and Rescue and having a true GPS unit that doesn't drain the battery in 2 hours is important.  I usually have my phone turned off to save battery life in case I DO need to use it.  But I also have a Radio to communicate with other units and with base camp so that works also for communication if needed.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nitro5955]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 24th 2009 11:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DeLorme kicks out waterproof Earthmate PN-30 GPS device]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/delorme-kicks-out-waterproof-earthmate-pn-30-gps-device/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/delorme-kicks-out-waterproof-earthmate-pn-30-gps-device/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hmm, fair point.  I do not currently have GPS on my phone (which I believe dates back to The Dark Ages) so I was not aware that GPS drains the battery so quickly, although I presume that it is not something necessary to have enabled constantly.  However, if you have to depend on it for extended periods of time then some way of keeping it running is definitely going to be necessary.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Kelmon]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 24th 2009 11:38AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DeLorme kicks out waterproof Earthmate PN-30 GPS device]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/delorme-kicks-out-waterproof-earthmate-pn-30-gps-device/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/06/24/delorme-kicks-out-waterproof-earthmate-pn-30-gps-device/</guid><description><![CDATA[Nitro5955, <br>Which GPS that you know of use AA batteries, or even removable batteries?
