as long as you have clear line of sight to the sky, your gps should be able to lock on to at least 3 satellites and you will be able to know your position......

All GPSr can what....just put inside ur pocket or if u using backpack put at the bck of back pack on an open sky and ur PDA on ur hand....but for walking/jungle tracking special purpose GPSr such as Garmin 60CSx is recommended rather than BT GPSR/PDA combination as u are expected to walk/track longer period. PDA/BT GPSr combination battery won't last u long...the most 2hr! whereas Garmin GPSr vattery can last >8hrs on single charge

i agree with stimix on battery power....but u can always have extra batteries if you can afford it....but that would mean more load for you to carry....which is not really a good idea for jungle tracking....

anyway, just a a gauge, the Holux GPS Slim 236 can be used for 13 hours straight before the need to recharge (if i am not mistaken)

the last time i used with my axim X51V, it can last for about 4 hours.....then i need to recharge my pda....

my Asus P535 with built in battery can last to about 4 to 5 hours......
