That'd make the GPS/Cell phone about the size of my HT-32. On second 
though I doubt they could make it that compact  "or light weight". <:-))
Maybe that's why when I forget to turn the cell phone off (which is 
almost always) when I go flying, it says "out of area" after landing, 
when I can see the tower. Turn it off and back on and it suddenly finds 
the tower.

Man, just think of the power that sucker would take. You'd need a 
trailer to haul both it and the generator to power it.
