It has circuitry that boosts the output of two batteries to the five volts needed by cell phones and some GPS units, with much less power wasted as heat.

Thanks, have added to my list. Much appreciated.

In the long run, I suspect, I'd be better off with a proper GPS unit, 
with regards to accuracy and much better battery longevity. This is 
currently out of my financial reach.

I may be mistaken tho, as this is an area I have just entered.

Enjoy!!
