I am not sure why this was not built in to the bn to start with. I'm not trying to be cynical this morning, but this equipment is used in situations where people depend on the unit. Every day. How would you like to send your car, calculator or radio back to the shop because you can't change a battery? I can't imagine that this would be a hard job. If PDI wanted to keep this part a money making venture then all they would have to do is design a customize battery back and then we would have to buy it from them, or rip it apart and put in our own batteries. I am not ablicating doing this, but it is my opinion.
Has anyone received their gps 2.0 from PDI yet?

I didn't purchase it with mine for two reasons: 1. It is very expensive. 2. The cost was not justifiable because Pulse Data doesn't have any sort of advance-exchange RMA program. Quite frankly, that's the big reason why I'm not going for the upgrade at this point; I just can't afford to be without my BN for two weeks. I purchased a piece of technology to depend on to get my work done, not a toy I can do without for awhile!!! Darrell Shandrow - Shandrow Communications!
