Hello everyone, I totally agree. I went with the PK just for the GPs, and the newer technology. If I did not need the GPS I would have went with the pack mate. This line that they are note takers only is out of date. There is no reason that they cannot produce software that is requested. If they cannot do this why don't they release the tools so that third party developers can?

I wasn't aware of the spreadsheet program but these guys had better start listening to us because there are products being developed as we speak which are doing what most of these people are asking for. Also, in defense of humanware they and Visuaide are the only ones currently running gps which is why I invested in the pk as I need gps where I am living. Mary Ellen Earls Remember!
