Re: [ST] gps questions

Ben,
I'm not sure there is a unit that will truly satisfy "ALL" your needs.  The
Garmin 2610, Street Pilot III, and iQue 3600, maybe even the Magellan
Roadmate 700 are your choices that come close.  I would recommend going to a
place that has all of them and make a saleman have them perform all the
tricks you require.  Power is the least of your worries on all of these
units because you can use bike power.  Memory is the big issue and I know
all the Garmin units use memory cards.  The one issue that I have with
Garmin units is routing.  I use a Garmin GPS V and Garmin tech support and I
have gone round and round.  Garmin's idea of a route is getting from point a
to point b in kind of a linear fashion.  You can NOT come back to the exact
point you started from.  You can NOT cross your path (no figure 8 routes).
I've also had problems with the unit not liking the starting point and
making its own route or changing the route if you shut down at a stopping
point, which it is not supposed to do.

Didn't help much, did I?   Sorry but for me, I'd like to see a GPS V with
memory card and I would be happy.  It seems all the units come with almost
everything you want except that one thing you would really like to have.

Rod
