<font face="Arial">Hi Sebastian,</font><BR><font face="Arial"></font> <BR><font face="Arial">I didnt bought a Etrex last year, but did some study. I decided to buy a 62s, since it has a compass and accurate grid scan. And Im able to look at a colorized map, I like to use it for hiking and cycling.</font><BR><font face="Arial">So I would advice you to get one with a compass, since it reacts the normal way at a change without satelites. I dont have any idea about your budget, but that has to be a factor too.</font><BR><font face="Arial">Another advance is the possible use of rechargeble and through away batteries, since I wont be able to load them very well on a tour and the other batteries can be bought almost everywhere.</font><BR><font face="Arial">I hope you can find your way around, there have been some talks about GPS machines around here.</font><BR><font face="Arial"></font> <BR><font face="Arial">Greetz</font><br> <BR><div>> newbies mailing list<br>> newbies@openstreetmap.org<br>> http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies<br></div> </div></body>
