I've ordered a similar, but much smaller device from PingGPS. This one looks pretty bulky to me?

I've already answered that, yes they were hashed.
Apologies... I didn't see your reply for some reason. I perhaps didn't notice there was a Page 2.  |

Did you store user's passwords in the clear or were these hashed? Thanks
Ditto the above... Were they stored hashed? |

Oh great, they will then sell the data to all comers
You make it sound like that's a bad thing? I really hope they DO sell data to everyone. I see no advantages to sat-navs having inaccurate data. ... |

many flight crew/airlines won't allow the use of GPS receivers in aircaft (or will wearers be banned from entering the plane)
Really? Which airlines ban it? I've never come across one myself. |

I wish OS would do Sat Navs, we might stand some chance of getting somewhere without too many errors.
OS map data lacks any routing info so they wouldn't be much use.
