I'm using a Geko 301 with almost the same data as the 201
(except the barometric altimeter that makes it 100 euro more expensive)

i don't think the memory is a problem, i just returned from a 200km trip
and that took just 33% of the trackpoint memory

the waypoint labeling (and the whole UI) isn't userfriendly
usually i'm just using the generated waypoint number and write down the
description on paper (the geko saves only a 6 char waypoint name)
