Garmin vs. holux.

Hi, I totally concur with what you say. There's no
comparison with the 
Garmen and Holux. Furthermore, the holux still works
indoors, whereas the 
garmen doesn't, and I have the Holux in my pocket and when I
have tested it 
to see the difference between in and out of my pocket, the
difference is 
neglijable. For the sake of half of One percent difference
in picking up 
sattellites, I think it's worth having the Holux in my
pocket offering it 
more protection.
Regards, RS.
