Kiwi,
I believe the knockers of the GPS tracking gear are living in the stone age
You may be right. Most of what I have read is knocking Garmin as opposed to new technology
Get the cobwebs out of your pockets GPS is here to stay and will only get better
I agree that GPS is here to stay. Once there is more demand for the GPS systems, other companies will begin marketing the GPS, and Garmin will then have some real competition. As it is, they pretty much have the market sewn up, and are able to sell a product with questionable longevity. With competition, the quality will improve it just takes time.
For the time being, I decided to get a different set of cobwebs in my pocket. I sold my Tracker Maxima, and last week bought a QuickTrack 6000, with the quickshot antenna. I am sure it is only a matter of time and I will buy a GPS system. Just hoping that a company like quick track or Marshall will offer one, as opposed to Garmin.
