It's a new one on me, but then, it'll likely be a couple years before it hits the Midwest. HI, Julie, No...it's here. Even here! Even libraries in our area yet--we're offering it next season, though we set it up quite a few years ago. Most others have been offering it for some time (as has the Sierra Club and others who go out and play in the Wild) Garmin Industries (located in KC) makes them. My boss and his son & son-in-law were the first ones that I knew who went out and did this about three years ago (after which we contacted Garmin and their PR people were thrilled to offer us some demos. The people we contacted via the Sierra Club were happy to help us find some folks to teach the classes). It's like going on a treasure hunt. Best, Marlena in Missouri
