$499 is the entry-level price. SeeYou Mobile is, what, $250 per copy?
Add another hundred or two for a bluetooth GPS and it looks pretty
good compared to a ClearNav or Ultimate - but we'll see.

Hmm Add another 900 for the igc logger you'll need for contest/badge/
olc, add another 200 for mounting hardware, another hundred or so for
extras you didn't think you needed, and ClearNav sounds to look cheap!
To say nothing of instant hardware support from the manufacturer, no
more hard reboots at the start gate or on the ridge and so forth.

Okay - you caught me being overly enthusiastic. *I live a couple of
