Re: [pct-l] Casio GPS watch

[reynolds@ilan.com]

Someone reported that the Casio weighs 5.5 ounces. That is within a couple
ounces of a hand held job [7 oz]. Now you can't have one of these things on
all the time unless you have a burro to carry all the batteries so you
really are only going to use one on a cross-country, over snow -- or for
fun. Further, as someone pointed out, finding out where you are on a map
using Lat-Lon is difficult. Better, set up way points along a specific
route that might be indistinct. I doubt the Casio has way point capability.
