I decided to do a GPS route race between the mPower and PK. I set up a 1GB card in each with exactly the same number of POI and map files. I set my address in Davis as the Virtual starting point and Fresno Avenue in Fresno as the destination. This turned out to be a route of 184 miles. I pressed R and then V on both units and watched the swish count accumulate. At 21 swishes, 63 seconds, the PK finished creating the route. The mPower was 1 Swish slower. One swish equals 3 seconds. Interestingly, when I use my 2GB card on the PK loaded with 14 maps and 14 POIs, the same route takes 30 swishes, 90 seconds, over 3 times as long as the 1GB card with 4 maps loaded. For a second data point, I set a route from Hilt California, State Line liquors to Calexico on the California Mexico border, 751 miles line of site and 855 miles by road. It took 98 swishes on the PK and 100 on the mPower. Too bad it takes longer than that to drive or even fly. The two units were also very close when doing long POI searches. Mike Michael G.
