Hello James,

I am having difficulty getting posts to go through on the PCT site.  You are welcome to send this in.  I found out that the GPS package associated with the Android phone system has minimal capabilities when it is out of tower range so the Android is not quite ready to take over the GPS market just yet so my plan to consolidate all of my electronic gear is a little premature.  All I can replace is my camera, but not the GPS or the SPOT.

Here is the link with the reviews:

Feel free to share with PCT.
