RE: GPS advice
I have a Magellan Sportrak Map model that I am very fond of. I bought it two years ago from Cabelas. It is easy to use and has a decent mapping feature. I have not seen it in any of the catalogs this year soI wonder if they discontinued it. Price was around $150 for the unit itself with another $100 invested in the Travel bundle which included the mapping software and a few other accessories.
