Hi Dave: Great story. True story. We've been down similar roads many times. In fact, if you actually got the thing to work, good for you. Usually one of those "oh, didn't we tell you" calls proves fatal. 2 other caveats though. Try your data access speed while continuously moving as in driving in a car. Please report back. And those "coverage clouds" what they put on those website maps. The ones that show where you can expect CDMA coverage. Our experience shows they are optimistic by about 50%. So don't count on reliable cellular connectivity while moving. Don't count on coverage where the "coverage cloud" shows there should be coverage. Don't count on any coverage when traveling just offshore as most cellular sites are oriented towards land. And the beat goes on. Joe & Debbie Engel Marine Computer Services & JRE Consulting, Inc.
