</div>I have no idea what "h-/v-/p-dop" means so it would hardly be a reason<br>
for me not to buy one! Am I alone in not understanding your acronym?<br>
<br>
Mine seems to do the job I bought it for, at competitive price. I wish<br>
it had one-touch auto-numbered waypoints though.<br>

</font></blockquote></div><br>Some Garmins can do one-touch (sort of) auto-numbered waypoints. It's sort of a man overboard function. If you have a 60 or 76 series, hold down the Enter key. If you have an eTrex series, hold down the click stick (equivalent of enter). If you have a nuvi, I'm not sure if you can... It's not entirely one-touch, though, because you have to go down and click OK or Save or whatever, but it does capture the position you're at when you press the button, and the waypoint number does increment automatically.<br>
