Hi Ben, Thanks.

The 60Csx and 76Csx are what I had been looking at. Probably the 76 because it floats and we will possibly be using it in wet areas. > However, thats not ideal for me in terms of rendering, so Im creating > custom maps from OSM data using mkgmap. > I am about halfway through the process of creating proper rendering > rules and TYP files for my two main purposes: hiking and mapping. > If someone else is using mkmap, Im happy to exchange about the scripts > and rules Im using. I'd be interested in these, particularly if you can use the NASA SRTM contour data as I've got this setup on the invehicle PC and it's very useful.
