Fortuna Pocket Xtrack "Two-in-One" (IIe/Xtrac) Reviewed
GPSPassion.com has published a review on a GPS unit that can maintain a lock indoors and in other scenarios traditionally challenging for normal GPS receivers.
"The Pocket Xtrack CF GPS was announced by Fortuna at the beginning of August - news. This is the third Fortuna CF GPS after the PocketTrack IIe and the PocketTrack IIe/LP. It stands out as the first "dual mode" GPS, a standard "ST" mode and a high-sensitivity "XT". It brings together two state of the art technologies in a single package, which is convenient of course, but also economical, since the Pocket Xtrack costs barely more than an "ST" CF GPS or an "XT" CF GPS! You can get it for $168* or 149* euros (see the links in the conclusion). We'll also see that the inclusion of these two technologies is not redundant and in fact quite complementary."

I want it!
I'm SO disappointed with spotty operation of my NavMan GPS 3000. It often even fails to get fix on a bridge with most of the sky visible!

and just to add to this review, it seems this GPS could be dubbed the "Hurricane GPS"! Find out why by reading dcrochet's recent testing at the bottom of this page in this thread !
