Maptech BSB charts on your laptop or PDA are definitely a nice thing
to have, wouldn't leave the dock with out them.

Have you had a chance to try out your amplifier yet and do some
comparison testing?

No, I'm talking about having the Maptech chart data on your cell phone -
there are some Microsoft Smartphone phones out there that can show the
complete charts data on a device clipped to your belt!

They had a handful of these phones. They connect to a GPS and show you
where you are, etc. You can even plot a route on the thing and follow it
while it gives you distance-to-go and time-to-go, etc. I was very
impressed. I'm looking to buy one of those phones now.

I hooked it up in a temporary way. It seems to give me 3 bars when I had
only a single bar so it is doing something. I need to take some time and
install it properly.
