I really can't comment on the technical parts of this because of trade secret concerns and such but the idea is interesting. RFID tags are already applied everywhere at least in many settings. This is a great idea. Can you provide a pointer for the navigation tool though. That I'm not famil

Hi, Inside of buildings navigation will soon be provided by radio frequency. For example, when you walk in to your local walmart, your greeter will offer you a gadget that uses radio frequencies to triangulate your position in the building in relation to department markers and isle signs. The

I think inside buildings is probably a lost cause for any device. There are to many flat plains and angles to cause multipath that will totally hose your signal. I'm guessing that tower triangulation would be a better method for building navigation althgouh that will experience many of the sam

Yep, we do tend to try and justify our purchase with a good opinion. I still need to try it out with navigon and see if its precision can be documented by car and foot. Also would like to try it on difficult conditions such as inside buildings etc. best regards, Yuma DX® -- You received thi

I think you're limited with Apple products. I don't believe the bluetooth device supports a serial profile. I like the idea of this device but I can't see spending money for something that's already out of date, doesn't have a lot of positive reviews and is excessively priced for what you get

As you say it yourself, it boils down to interoperability and future projects. The new features aren't there yet, and i was looking for a product which works out of the box for my iphone. Furthermore, i don't know whether the 66 channel devices have those features you mention, if they require a

Actually, that's not quite correct. There are discussions about establishing interoperability between the various systems. Remember it's not just the US who has a GPS network any more. The Russians I believe have a system as do the folks in India and China. These are in various states of dev

Hi, I totally agree with you, but the point was that there are only 12 satellites being picked up at any time however the channel count, so until the full 66 channels are being used at full potential with 66 satellites i don't need that power, which itself would also suck up more energy. I don
