Mine arrived this morning, so I've had a quick play with it on the way
to work. I've not had a chance to test it out properly yet, but have
some first impressions...

- it's rather large compared to my eTrex (though it's relatively light)
- it didn't manage to get a lock on 3 satellites whilst walking to
work, whereas I think my eTrex does... I should really have waited to
let it get a lock before walking, but I was late already  :)
- it's nice to have the mapping, base data for europe and ability to
search for places

Looking forward to this evening when I try it out properly...
