And over there, I just saw a message from the engineer who is the developer of the BN/vn gps. In response to a question about gps 3 and the new PK, he said that this reference to the pk on the gpstalk list was the first he'd heard of this new development. NObody from PDI had been in contact with him about any new development or upgrade, so he couldn't say whether the gps would run on the pk. I know Johnathan responded to an earlier note stating that if gps isn't running on the pk when its first released, they hope it will be soon thereafter. I'm concerned, however, because this scenario sounds just like what happened with the PackMate and Visuaid, where FS didn't keep them in the loop, and owners of the newer version of that pda are still waiting for gps accessibility. I understand that companies need to be careful about talking about plans. But it does seem unfortunate, to put it mildly, that the supplier of gps wasn't kept in the loop, so they could plan and make sure the gps will be compatible with the new PDI upgrades and products. the question was asked about a possible blue tooth receiver, since the PK will be blue tooth compatible. But the engineer stated that the new gps 3 won't have any blue tooth possibility, since PDI hadn't informed him about the blue tooth connectivity of the new device. Maybe they'll get it together for version 4. But that probably means another year or so. Seems like that could have been avoided with better and more timely communication between business partners.
