efs4ever 3 #1 September 9, 2006 I've got a couple of Garmin GPSmap76 models. This is an outline of my tracks for the last two weeks from Houston, including trip to Couch Freaks. I love the extra instrumentation provided like elevation, rate of ascent / descent, time to destination, distance to destination, moving average. Looking at a pointer that shows how far off track you are I returned home more Westerly than the route to CF.Russell M.

Icon134 0 #4 September 9, 2006 Yeah... I really like my garmin eTrex Vista C... I would like to have the Vista Cx since it accepts microSD cards and the memory is expandable beyond the 24 MB mine has... maybe I'll upgrade in a couple of years.Livin' on the Edge... sleeping with my rigger's wife...

Seems to work fairly well and is pretty easy to use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites cros13 0 #11 September 9, 2006 I use a dell axim X50v with iGO software.
