Get a compas and a sexton so you won't have to be beholding to magic in the sky. All that 6.6, 9.9. and such is total marketing.

Frank -- We've used at least a couple of dozen models all over the world (and still use 4 different ones every day), and my favorite is still the Garmin eTrex Vista HCx (color). I certainly like it better than all the new stuff. Mavis prefers the Rino 655t, for the radio, and I still prefer the
