Thanks for the update Jim. I had actually just ordered one right before reading your post today. I ordered from TigerGPS (428.53 after shipping) b/c they were cheaper than most places and claim to have it in stock unlike the places that are $410 before shipping. No for the serial cable..........where are you getting it from? I haven't looked for one yet. Does GSAK work w/the usb? I have been using easyGPS with my vista but am thinking about giving GSAK a try. Or would you recommend a better program to use? I will be buying the city select in a couple weeks as well, one thing at a time.

(However, the one I got is defective-the enter button does not work sometimes-I will have to deal with that tomorrow and hope I can get one shipped to replace it.) The antenna is really amazing. Yesterday and today I was hiking in deep valleys, near 350 foot cliffs, under tree cover, etc. I never lost a fix! Most of the time I just had it hooked to my pack's shoulder strap. The color screen is outstanding. It is so easy to see even in bright sunlight. The autorouting feature is real nice, but using a laptop to get from cache to cache is still greatly superior. It usually does a pretty good job routing you, but you cannot get a "big picture" of what is going on or change the route. If I was only going to one or two caches, I would not bring my laptop anymore. Other than that, I still plan to use my laptop for getting me from cache to cache. It is real good on showing turns and recalculating if you miss a turn. But it was a bit of a pain when you get close and go a different way. It keeps rerouting you. However, you need to buy City Select (Over $100) to do street level autorouting (other than the base map). MetroGuide will load, but it will not autoroute on it. On the topo maps, it is hard to see the contour lines. Hopefully there will be a software fix for that. The geocaching screen is nice. One problem is most software will not interface with the USB. So I am going to have to buy a $30 serial cable. The processor is much faster than the vista and the batteries last about twice as long. The mark waypoint now has average. Its got lots more really nice features. I really like it. **************************************************************************** Our WebPage!
