Yes, that is required for the Python gps packages.

field test from boston.

probably not the most accurate field test since it was raining and i was trying to look at the screen, hold the gps face up. and not get every thing too wet.

Mcacher did lock okay, but had very different readings from meamo mapper in term of distance to cache. i had the cache in hand and it was saying 9 miles to go.

now i was in a hurry and was afraid of everything getting totaly wet so this may not be the most accurate test.

as far as functionality, i would have much preferred my waterproof gps. also geocaching with my n800 just seemed klunky.

your mileage may very, especially if you are not getting wet and are afraid of frying your n800.

9 Miles? How about 9 ft. Distance measure is reported in Miles for 0.1 miles and >, then switches to feet starting at about 500 ft.
