Re: GPS Units

Anyone have thoughts on GPS units. I bought a Garmin eTrex Vista HCx unit and I could not get it to do the things pictured on the box untill I bought three more MapSource programs and three memory cards. The maps and memory cards combined cost more than the unit. I am brand new to all of this and I am not sure how to use the maps to plan trips and set points. One thing the sales person told me is that you need to switch out individule memory cards if you are doing 3 things in the same area (eg Road Trip mapping, TOPO for 4x4 riding, and inland lakes for fishing.) I would like to hear what others have done and where I can get free down loads of Waypoints for some of the rides in your area.
Thanks Wally Jones Adams County Ohio.

Re: GPS Units

I've had a few different gps units, both garmin and magellan.  The one I use now on the cat and in the car is the Magellan Crossover has color touch screen, comes with both topo and street maps, and a dust cover for the trail.  Also has voice directions on street maps.
