my own opinion is that compasses and barometers are best not fitted to gps units purely because the casio protrek watches do the same thing and use much much less battery power and it's best not to put all your navigation egges in 1 basket... as an expat nzer i know that a new garmin gps76s is pretty expensive in nz, but you could do something like buy a 2nd hand etrex venture, legend from ebay usa and with the savings get a new triple sensor protrek... eric e lurker... *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
