On another list I'm on,whenever that question comes up (
about every 4th month) most votes go to the Garmin 76c, or
76 CS mapping. Personally, I'm still using the little
Magellan 100 that Cadillac gave out for free about 10 years
ago.

At this point, I'm still using my old Garmin III Plus.

I'm looking to stay with hand held but don't really know
how the technology
has changed in the last few years (I've had this about 5
years). I love the
fact that I can map out a route on the computer and
upload/download
waypoints, tracks, and routes from and to my computer.

I'd like a slightly bigger, color screen. Can anyone
recommend a good unit
under $1000? Must be able to plan trips with computer and
save logs of
trips.

TIA
Scout


I'd have to second that on the 76 series. I've used them, but I still own
and use my 12xl. Don't need no stinkin mappin. :-)

A manly response! I have/had both models of the GPS 12. I still have the
GPS 12 with the 12 satellite capability. I gave the older model with the 6
satellite capability to a friend. The old model took a week to lock on.
Real manly men don't need maps. I also have a Garmin etrex and edge 205.
No maps there either! None of my GPS units have mapping capability.

My OCD tendencies force me to save tracks (as files on the pc) like others
save baseball cards or stamps!
I'm out of control!!

`I think you're confusing manly with cheap.

Scotty



Not at all. I'm manly are you are cheap.

Too many ''ares'' in that sentence. Are you a pirate?


Cheap is small and not too steep
But best of all cheap is cheap
Circumstance has forced my hand
To be a cut price person in a low budget land
Times are hard but well all survive
I just got to learn to economize


Excuse my shoes they dont quite fit
Theyre a special offer and they hurt me a bit
Even my trousers are giving me pain
They were reduced in a sale so I shouldnt complain
They squeeze me so tight so I cant take no more
Theyre size 28 but I take 34

Im shopping at woolworth and low discount stores
Im dropping my standards so that I can buy more

[quality costs, but quality wastes,
So Im giving up all of my expensive tastes.
Caviar and champagne are definite nos,
Im acquiring a taste for brown ale and cod roes ]

Low budget sure keeps me on my toes
I count every penny and I watch where it goes
Were all on our uppers were all going skint
I used to smoke cigars but now I suck polo mints

Art takes time, time is money
Moneys scarce and that aint funny
Millionaires are things of the past
Were in a low budget film where nothing can last
Moneys rare theres none to be found
So dont think Im tight if I dont buy a round

Files on the computer do not take up any additional space. What other OCD
behaviors do you have? I have a pair of socks from 1951.
