I apologize for bringing this to the group so soon after an exhaustive and
excellent discussion of it. When the group discussed GPSs, I didn't think I
one, so I didn't save the things which were written. Now I've decided that I
really should get a handheld GPS, and I'm asking for help. I'll need to limit
initial cost somewhat, hoping to keep it under $200. 

Both Garmin and Magellan make units which, by their descriptions, should be
sufficient. Anything to choose between the two brands? Things to avoid like
the plague? Specific features or models in that price range which are
especially helpful?

Any advice will be gratefully appreciated, either by return private e-mail or
by posts to the group. - Bill Hansen    Ithaca NY
