Many countries operate by different rules than us - somethingyou may be shocked to learn if you do any international travel.
In the last year while making plans to travel to Russia I ran across awarning from the US state dept. recommending NOT to travel witha GPS receiver. The Russian government is still very paranoid abouttheir "secrets". Anyone carrying a GPS could be considered a spytrying to get an accurate location of whatever nearby sensitivegovernment facilities may exist - seen or unseen. If you want anotherexample of their level of paranoia, take a look at their visa application.It practicaly asks for your entire family, education, and work history,and asks specifically what kind of military/weapons/nuclear engineeringskills you may have.
I'm sure this too will fall into history as more varieties of consumerelectronics devices are appearing with built-in GPS (cameras, cell phones).
All that being said, I believe satellite reception over most of Russiashould be excellent. ;-)-Steve
