Last week end we were out all night in a steel cabin cruiser.
The onboard navigation equipment worked well. The handheld Garmin GPS did
not work inside. As for the Magellan Gold it did the job good. My friend
had to stay close to the glass windows. My question is if one has to pick
up an handheld GPS which one will it be?



One that can see through a steel cabin-top?

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves that we
assume a GPS can work inside a metal box.

Oh, dear...
