Hi Peter,
thanks for that. Yeah I was already thinking along the lines of where one
system may fall short. Then the other may be able to fill in the gaps(so to
speak smile)? I think my main problem was mainly justifying in my own mind
the need to pay out more money for a system, when I already have Trekker.
One of the things attracting me to Mobile Geo(apart from portability), is
the Sendaro feature of creating my own routes using waypoints and the
breadcrumb function. Although you can create your own points of interest
with Trekker, and navigate to it using freemode. The Sendaro feature sounds
like it is a lot more versatile. Would you agree with this? I obviously can
still make use of Trekker. As it probably has its own strengths compared to
Mobile Geo. Plus I have the Maestro feature with Trekker. So can use the PDA
features like media player and note taking and recording. Can you and the
list, also tell me which phones are you all finding best run Mobile Geo on?
Currently I have a Nokia N82. And so will have to get a windows mobile phone
if I do decide to get Mobile Geo.
Thanks again for sharing your experiences and opinions.
All the best
Jason

Hi Jason,
I started my GPS life with Trekker in 2003, and then migrated to Sendero,
but for a number of years I was using Wayfinder alongside Sendero,
sometimes at the same time, as I found Wayfinder was doing a better job
when trying to help drivers navigate. Now Sendero has improved on that
front, and Wayfinder has died. I still find that Loadstone is nice to
have for those times when you need a quick fix (so to speak).
I guess my point is this: I'm absolutely with Mike and others on the
power of GPS to enhance travel and empower in all sorts of ways, and
different systems have different strengths. Since Mobile Geo is
comparable with (or equivalent to) Sendero, I think you would find it
really beneficial giving you considerably richer information about what's
around and more powerful route planning, as well as being more portable,
so go for it.
Best,
Peter

Hi list,
I posted this message before. But have had some email issues. So don't
think it made it to the list? As I didn't see it posted, and didn't get
any replies. So thought I would send it again.
Thanks Jason
Hi list,
I have been considering getting mobile geo. However, I am trying to
justify it to myself. For example, I already have Trekker. Which is now no
longer being developed by Humanware. Although, we will get any future maps
produced for the Trekker breeze. So it is still going to be usable for as
long as the PDA it runs on keeps working smile. But obviously, no future
features or bug corrections are going to be done. My question is, I know
that some on the list have more than one GPS system that they use. Without
being to personal. I was wondering if those list members would mind
sharing their reasons for possessing more than one system? As like I said,
I am trying to justify to myself the need for getting mobile geo, when I
already have Trekker. I am not specifically meaning the use of both
simultaneously. Although the practicality of that may be worth hearing
about too. Like I said, I don't wish to pry into people's personal
situations too much. But would love to get some opinions as to the reasons
for having more than one system? Particularly anyone who has both Trekker
and Mobile Geo.
Thanks Jason
