[gps-talkusers] Re: Gps Scottsdale and me:

The biggest chalenge that I had was trying to get a complete map.  When they 
tried to make a custom map they didn't include any of the POI files.  They 
were left in the Grand Junction map.  I couldn't figure out how to change 
any of that.  But it would be nice if they created a utility to let the user 
create there own maps.  Other then that The Visuaide people were very nice, 
and they did offer to buy the trekker back.  Thagt I thought was very kind.
