Which would you rather have...

[Ron Riemersma]

GRLevel 3, dependant on Sprint cell phone / internet coverage, OR simpler, but satellite enabled radar coverage on a Garmin GPS? (Garmin 376c)

 

[David Drummond]

GRLevel 3 on a data card. Because you not only can use your datacard for GRL3, but for anything else you want to get on the internet. I've experienced about 95% or so coverage on the central/southern plains, and about to add a booster so I bet I can get that up to 98% or better.

Like David said, grlevel3 with a data card.

 

[ericjkelly]

GRlevel3!

Or just jump in the car with your friend with GRlevel3

 

[Ron Riemersma]

So forgive me if this is really dumb, but what is a data card? My current set up is to tether my sprint blackberry to my laptop, unlimited data plan.

 

[David Drummond]

Data cards are cellular devices that either plug in to your card slot on your laptop, or more lately, via USB, although some have their own little wireless networks. While they are technically cell phones with a number, they are dedicated to data only. Works a lot like after you tether, without the phone.

BTW, you might want to check the fine print your contract on Sprint. I was gonna set up my BB to tether as a backup plan, but even on the unlimited everything including the kitchen sink plan, tethering still was not covered.
