There is also a gps usenet group were some aspects of the eTrex were recently discussed. Use dejanews to scan for these articles. I did that, and found that it has all the functions I expected. Some features of more expensive units are missing, but that's the price you pay (less). If you can life without some functions than you get good value for your money. And if you loose it it wouldn't hurt to much. Here in Halifax/Canada the eTrex is physically not existing. None of the dealers, even the official Garmin reps, has one in his store - but already a waiting list of customers-. I am looking forward to hold one in my hand and play with it....... I love new toys for big kids ;) Cheers Ulli Ulli Hoeger Dept.
