The one thing that the eTrex does not have is the ability to upload maps, and that's now the focus of the question. Is there a major reason to hold out for the ability to load a lot of maps from the databases available, or is not point to point navigation from known fixes or datum a viable option for kayaking? The price is right, the size is great (palm-sized), and the submersible spec (one meter, 30 minutes) is impressive. > > But do I need the map capability? Don't think you need maps, necessarily, but you will need pre-planned waypoints for some trips. The eTrex's specs (especially the submersibility) may motivate me to buy one of these things, but I **definitely** want the ability to download waypoints from Chartview (Nautical Software: http://www.tides.com/). Will this thing do that? I tried to determine if it would from the manual someone URL'ed, but could not tell. -- Dave Kruger Astoria, OR *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Mon Apr 03 2000 - 17:13:42 PDT
