    Isn't #7 just a Nalgene bottle in itself that some individual/group just went to one of those promotional items companies and had them slap "my pee pee bottle" on the side of it?

    @dragon:ONE: It had to have been a joke.

    Marketing Guy 1: "We can't sell these things for the life of us..."
    Marketing Guy 2: "Haha, yeah, they're useless. We have too many of them. Everybody who wants one, owns one. All we can do with them now is piss in them."

    They both laugh, their boss laughs. He approves it for shits n giggles.

    At least, that's how we hope it went.
    The alternative is unthinkable...

    @Segador: Description not needed, but the reviews are well worth a read. Also be sure to check out the product photos....

    Does anyone have problems with the Motion X apps finding a signal? I downloaded the free version to see if I wanted to replace RunKeeper with it, I do a lot of off road hiking and riding, and I'm constantly having signal problems.

    @twoeightnine: just curious why you wanted to replace runkeeper. I've been using it for over a year now and it works almost flawlessly

    @lpranal: Don't get me wrong, I love RunKeeper but I'm digging the mapping and waypoints of Motion X. I lead cross country adventure travel trips most of the year and it's a great way to map hikes, viewpoints and places to visit. The same thing with my photography.

    Standalone GPSes have an edge over phones in that you have much more control if you want to map out specific routes on the computer. Using Garmin's Mapsource for specific road routes for uses like road rallies is a benefit to some. Having a bank of 500 waypoints that I can create a route from is still an advantage to me.

    @Lizard_King: They also enjoy the advantage of not running down the batteries on your phone, and not pulling your phone out of a windshield mount to use it - assuming you don't have Bluetooth. It's also nice not subscribing monthly to being able to see my map, but I'd assume that's changing since the iPhone? (but can the iPhone store the whole country's map on it so it doesn't use data while roaming? My Nuvi came with all of North America circa 2009...)

    I actually HAVE #1. I've since upgraded to the newer model, but I used the old one in my car to make it a rolling singles ad for myself. And no, it didn't work.

    Number 7 (or is it "number 1"?) could cause some problems if stored in proximity to the bottles of apple juice.

    I'll take number one if I can get it in a bigger size than ride-my-tail-only-to-find-out-the-message-is-stop-riding-my-tail.

    Seriously. Bumper stickers and billboards: big. friggin'. fonts. K?
