[pct-l] GPS again

["Eriksen, Svein" <sveri@wmdata.com>]

Found the technical specs at:

The impressive part is that they manage to put it into a watch. The rest
isn't quite as impressive.

* 8 channels
* 10 hours/600 readings on a battery
* Doesn't seem to have the altimeter/thermometer functions of the
Suunto/Casio/Avocet

As someone noted, you don't (usually) need these features on the PCT, but a
snowy year like 98 with miles and miles of snow cover it sure would have
been useful.
