[BC] GPS

[Bill Croghan]

	It's not unusual out here in the west to have actual canyon problems
with GPS units.  I do ground search and rescue with CAP and we get places
where it is impossible to get a clear sky view with our handheld GPS units.
This is typically in canyons where it is not possible to fly our airplanes
safely.
	(Hint Some older hand carried personal GPS units won't work in an
airplane.  They see the speed as in excess of 100 MPH and "know" that a
handheld unit can't go that fast so they default!)
