[ARDF] GPS/Receiver

[Vadim Afonkin]

1. Allowing smartphone/tablets directly violate ARDF rules as they are
strictly prohibit "GPS with mapping capabilities"
2. Having GPS and Compass inside receiver will help somewhat, but will not
move you faster or make you think faster or make navigation decisions for
you. Moving by straight line without looking at the map is not an option,
if you have an obstacle on the way - for example lake - by following guided
line you will hit lake shore and will not find TX. So orienteering skills
are required anyway.

Yes, again - it will hep you at some degree, but will not make you Champion
if you cannot run ARDF without it. It also will not make you Champion if
you are not well trained. Or dont have good orienteering skills.

Solution would be to have separate categories for those who runs with
tablets/smarphones, without suppressing engineering minds in what called
ARDF.

ARDF is Radio Sport afterall.

73!
