I can't say about the barometer. I can check but off the
top of my head, I don't know. The Garmins have a limit of
1000 geocaches and around 2100 map segments no matter how
much memory you have. If you buy the City Navigator NT (key
word here is NT), the maps are larger and more compressed
and I could fit all of the US (with routing) on the 2GB card
along with Topo's of all of Illinois, Missouri and parts of
Kentucky and Arkansas and still have around 500 meg left for
other stuff. POI's don't have that limit but are handled as
elegantly as Geocaches for caching. I'd, personally, go
with the 2GB card.
