Sorry, I have never experienced or heard of that. Try turning VO off and back

Hi folks,
I just wrote a review of a new portable battery pack / charger. It has built

cable and a USB port.
What sets it apart is that it talks and tells you what percent of the battery

I haven't picked up on the fact that people are relying too much on GPS

Certainly it is a tool, to be used in conjunction with cane, or dog, and
