Sure, having 20 routes with 50 waypoints each is nice, but I only follow one route at a time. I don't think I really need the features that were lost when they created the eTrex. It does have the capability to upload to and download from my computer, so I can use my Maptech Terrain Navigator software. On a side question, with all of the other things that we carry on our persons and on our deck, do I really want a GPS that is larger than it needs to be?
