The only objection i've got against blindsquare is that it takes too long to report on what street i actually am compared to the Trekker Breeze. It may be that the comparison is unfair, but i have the feeling that i could go down a street for several blocks and then all of a sudden Blindsquare will tell me where i am, and by that time, if i'm lost, i may already have figured out that i'm lost and so have maybe turned around, with Trekker, i feel the response is more instantaneous assuming the damn thing gets a satelite fix, which could take a couple forevers. /Krister
