[Paddlewise] To GPS or NOT to GPS

good morning Paddlewise(ers),

	I know there has been some discussions of late about GPS recievers, 
so without re-hashing the "should you be out there in the first 
place?" kind of arguements, I have a question or two.

	There has been some comments about poor "reception" in heavy clouds 
and/or fog.  Did I misunderstand these comments?  I'm thinking that 
the most important time to HAVE a GPS is in these type of conditions. 
Of what good are they if they don't function when you need them the 
most?

	Secondly, is there anything that might be done to minimize this 
situation?
