Long story short, I'm getting one for my birthday. Yes, I'm stoked. I showed
Zab the astro photos from the link yesterday and despite it being a bit outside
our initial budget, she seemed to think that it would make a much better
birthday present than the large capacity battery for my cordless drill that I
had been slated to get.
Before I spend a lot of time shopping for one:
A) Has anyone on the list been recently shopping for one? Any strong
recommendations on places to check out, or to avoid?
I just bought one. I don't shop around, I just go into my local pusher,
tell him what the item is worth and pay what he rings it up at.
B) Has anyone that has one run into critical problems that made them decide
that it wasn't really worth the money after all?
It's been good so far. It doesn't work really well inside some
buildings. If there is too much metal, it gets lost.
It's eerie though, the first time you plug coordinates into Google Earth
and it points at exactly where you were standing.
