GPS Stuff...

[Scott]

I know lots of GPS stuff has been discussed in the past, but it's all suddenly coming into focus for me. Holly just bought a Garmin eTrex Vista C (on sale at REI!), which she generously let me appropriate to figure out how to use.

1. Does anyone else have the eTrex Vista C? (Yeah, I know lots of you use the GPSMap 76 series---but we liked the portability of the eTrex for all our other sports.) I'd be interested in comparing notes if you have this model.

2. Does anyone have recommendations for good online "How to get the most out of your GPS" info sources?

I found a couple of good articles already...

The Etrex doesn’t play nice when it comes time to interface with other devices.
