I find the position information in my Droid 3 (or my wife's Galaxy SIII) to be far superior to the Garmin Nuvi we had four or five years ago. I don't know how much of that is from the GPS, and how much comes from software monitoring feedback from cellphone towers and known wireless networks (both of which are in fairly short supply at GFM). -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
