What would you like the next generation of GPS units to be able to do that they currently don't?

That is a nice feature with c:geo for Android. Would be nice if the handhelds had that. I thought some models did, though.glorkar wrote:Birds eye view images?
I've thought I'd like a camera in mine, but it would make it hard for those virts, etc. that require a picture of your with your GPS.
Re: Next GPS breakthrough?
Don't the newer Garmins have cameras? Like the Oregon or something?

Re: Next GPS breakthrough?
I think so. I'm trying to think of something truly new.
Re: Next GPS breakthrough?
Oooo, ooooo, I've got it. A laser pointer/range finder sort of thing. It projects the distance to ground zero and as you get closer, the beam gets shorter. It would be great for night caching

How about a pen? You could easily have a little slot for a small pen to fit in. Then, you'd always have one.
