: Well go figure! I never even tried it. That's interesting. They will work in
: a sealed hatch, but won't work in a tree canopy!!!

I'm not a GPS expert by any means, don't even own one, but there is one intergrated in the radio that I work with.

The GPS needs to be able to 'see' three satallites, to get a triagulation as to where it is. So if you are in the trees, the other stalites may not be right over head., so it my not be the leaves, but several trunks that are in the way.

Anyways, once you are done your case you will let us know? Which GPS do you use, I am thinking of getting one, but am so darn cheep, that I've yet to fork over the dough. (Plus I want a water purifier, and Dry top first)

take care,

Myrl
