<<Wade snipped<<I was just concerned rather the cell phone would interupt or alter the GPS from transmitting to the satelites. Your thoughts?>> Good question. We know the airlines are concerned about the use of cell phones and gps devices while flying. It's a real concern. Hold your cell phone close to an AM radio and listen to the static. Especially when it transmits. Will the phone affect the gps? Maybe. I suspect that if it does it would be limited to reception and not accuracy. Do what you did when you got the gps, take it out in the backyard and give it a try. Let us know. I can't imagine a problem with the phone from the gps. Although, just because a gps is only a receiver doesn't mean that it won't produce some interference. I'm convinced that all the random radio interference floating around out there is the reason I can't remember things like I did forty years ago. ;-) Mike *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
