Just in case you're not aware, you can use your GPSlim with a mobile  
phone to get a very good GPS package, assuming your mobile is  
capable. That's what I've been doing. Only problem is if you lose  
your phone (as I have recently) you also lose (part of) your GPS :- 
( It can definitely be a cheaper option though.
