Wonder what happens in a bad storm (we have those in Florida occasionally 
and my satellite communications goes away). Also how long it takes to 
discover and synch. Think it is something more appropriate for the Sky Mall 
magazine.

ps I use a Delorme ( http://delorme.com/ ) system but still think the 1998 
software is easier to use. Have not seen the 2006 version though
