Aside from using Google(http://www.google.com)
to do a 'regular' search of the web', the following
may help you to find answers to your questions about
GPS, and/or related topics(e.g. batteries).

1)
Use Google's archive of Usenet postings, which
includes postings in the two newsgroups in which
this is being posted(sci.geo.satellite-nav and
alt.satellite.gps):
http://groups.google.com
To create a bookmark for a specific group:
http://groups.google.com/groups?group=alt.satellite.gps
http://groups.google.com/groups?group=sci.geo.satellite-nav

2)
There is a new Google search engine service in beta testing:
http://froogle.google.com/
The product-oriented nature of this search engine makes it
usefull to search for "products", whether that be something
generic such as "GPS receiver", or more specific such as
"NiMH AA battery" or "GPS receiver with USB connector".

3)
Google Labs(http://labs.google.com/) has a demo of Google Viewer:
http://labs.google.com/gviewer.html
The Google Viewer displays the pages found as a result of your
Google search as a continuous scrolling slide show.
You can view your search results without using your keyboard
or mouse and you can adjust the speed with which the images
move across your screen.
