So I want to know wich is better in your view trekker or mobile geo? Wich gps is more accurate? I'm looking at getting a gps to use when traveling throughout the U.s. and possibly some European countries. So wich gps do you think is better for this sort of thing? Also do any of them work indoors like in airports etc? Thanks,
Aimee

as far as i know most GPs if any doens't work indoors unless u are near a window or something .. but its not going to navigate you around the airport or anything like that. While i have never used a trekker myself i will say this much. Personally i feel the trekker is an overpriced piece of hardware that does one thing and one thing only, and its hasn't been updated all that much software wise either from waht i hear. Cell Phones with each new phone that comes out has better hardware like GPS recievers and etc built in. So i would vote taht you get Mobile Geo if you have a fairly recent cell phone cuz either its built in gps reciever or a blue tooth one that can be bought as and add on for under $100 will be more accurate than the trekker. Also if you are worried about draining your battery on the phone .. extra batteries don't cost that much (especially on ebay) and depending on your phone there may be a battery pack out there that works with it.
