I've attempted to make a GPS unit that is fairly similar to our current technology (for use in a sci-fi campaign). I'm very new to this and would appreciate feedback. In particular, I'm interested in how to simulate rechargeable batteries and how to show that a GPS unit isn't helpful without maps or knowledge of the are.I created it as a computer. I think that I broke lots of "rules" by placing talents in a multipower framework.Anyway, any comments or help will be appreciated.<GPS UnitPlayer:
