Hi Mike,
Does the version 3 maps cover the Czech Republic? I am still thinking
about getting the gps system maybe before September of this year, because
I am going with several other amateur radio operaters for the
international (ARDF) amateur radio direction finding compitition. It sure
would be neat to know where one is going. GRIN!!
I have had a portable u s gps, made mainly for auto use. It does talk,
but not all the menus are available.
I will call you this week and talk more about the latest system.
Thanks, and have a super day.
