i-GotU GT-120 Final Thoughts

Those two reviews generated lots of hits and comments for this website, both for and against the GT-100.

Subsequently, I was contacted recently by Mobile Action and asked if I would be willing to try out the new GT-120. The unit arrived Saturday and I’ve been putting it through the same tests that I did with the GT-100. So far, I’m impressed, and pleasantly surprised.

Kathy Besa of Broomall, Pa., has a device about the size of a pocket pager attached to the collar … Read More “Creative Uses of GPS” »
