Magellan GSC-100
If you've got about a thousand bucks you can afford to spend, the
GSC-100 will give you world-wide e-mail communications capability
and GPS navigation, all in one compact unit. The GSC 100 uses standard
e-mail protocols, and allows you to communicate to any e-mail (Internet)
address or another GSC 100. The GSC 100 satellite navigation function
lets you identify your position, plot and track your course, or store
waypoints. Rather expensive, but would be worth it if your job requires
you to stay in communication anywhere, at anytime. |
