I bought a cable from this site and was pleased w/ the service, cost and
quality.

Not sure that he's still doing it this way, but when I bought my cable he
didn't want $$ until you received the cable!

where were you Roger?

The salesman said he has been selling a ton of these ETrex hand helds ..
they are small though.

What are your opinions?

Nice weather up thar in Maine ,, that is if you like rain, fog, and ick.


it's good as a handheld, don't try to hook it to anything though
because the special cable you need is really expensive, doubly so if
you need a cable that let's you hook it to a computer AND a power
supply at the same time. that cable is a huge ripoff.


Might also want to try ebay. I got a combo for my Garmin 12XL for much less.
