I fail to see the reason, since any more powerful
equipment would mean that it would be luggable, and
then having a seperate GPS unit is easier, since it
would be in a car. Besides I always liked real radios
or cell phones that don't demand eye contact for use.

Anyways, nice to have a piece of equipment advertised
here that is not meant to kill.
