Re: GPS anyone???
I have a Magellan eXplorest 500cs and it's a good unit, but a Garmin
Streetfinder III for the roads.
I DO have Garmin envy when it comes to my handheld now that I have seen the
upper end Garmin models, and will probabaly get one in the near future.
DO look into the cost of accessories and maps though, Garmin is pretty proud
of their stuff.
OH and DO NOT buy anything at BestBuy, they are crooked as the day is long.

I will third a Garmin. Mine is an eTrex Legend. It's small and easily
drops into a shirt pocket. While the display is small and can be hard to
read while underway, it can be tied into my co-pilot's laptop, making
navigating a real kick. Although the built-in base map is quite useful, I
bought their MetroGuide USA software (~ $115 US) to go with it. Very cool.
