I agree to this to an extent. Look at a calculator nowaday compared
with a desktop. I must say a dedicated calculator may be better off
under certain circumstances. 99% of the other circumstance, a computer
will prevail. I can also say that a dedicated gps is almost a must
for marine, topo and avaition use. For automotive, it can be done in a
lot cheaper and efficient manner.
A gps is just another comp (with its harddrive, memory card, memory,
cpu, motherboard, vdo card., sound card, display.......) . With huge
advance in the computer field , dedicated gps looks more like where
a dedicated calculator goes.

I am selling the point that I have just made knowing that this
newsgroup is suffocated with incessant by sales pitch re dedicted gps
hardware/software. And we all know which companies dominate.
