[Rhodes22-list] Radio - FM Recption - GPS Map

[Bob Weber]

Brad, right now I am pushing for Rogers laser range finder, binoculars, 
compass, thing.  I would propably have a heart attack at the price.  But if 
it had a bottle opener and tweezers that might sway the deal.  Seriously I 
am looking toward getting certified to teach navigation and that could 
really help with fixes or at least test the accuracy of a traditional fix.  
Bob
