You remove all those potentials for transcription error. "Ooops I meant S not N."

About 60 secs after I've powered my mount up it knows where it is to within a few metres and what the UTC time is to within a second. Faster if it has not been off for more than a few hours or moved a significant distance.

I have another three GPS units. A Magellan in the car. A Globalstar Compact Flash in one of the iPaqs. A DG-100 for geotagging photos.

I'm a firm believer in using the right tool for the job.
