Looking for a new GPS

[MUD4ME]

Just a note; Radio Shack is having there big sale on GPS units. All GPS is employee priced! I just got the Mag. 2000 for 299.00 minus the 20% employee discount. Not a bad deal.

This is what I use and I highly recommend it... www.teletype.com
Get their receiver (sirf III) and their software - I then run the receiver off my dell axim pda via bluetooth...

The beauty of the system is that I can download aerial photos and topo maps off the terra server (free) via the software and navigate on those maps (on the trails, street maps are useless since there are no streets). I usually run off the aerial photos because I can often estimate when a trail is too narrow or when I want to know what's that clear patch east of me... best thing I've ever got. And because its on a pda, I can load a ton of maps onto it, and in high definition too (for the aerial photos and topo maps)...

I highly recommend it...

I see what you want it to do.... The question is how much do you want to spend?

I prefer to spend $800 or less, but might spend up to $1200 if it is necessary.

I posted this in an older thread and for that I apologize!

Anyway, I am looking at the Garmin 376c or 378c. Any ideas on these units? They have more functionality and can move between marine and land.

I've been eyeing the Garmin 7200 with a backup camera and XM radio for our Roadtrek and to be used in the H3. Nice big scren, less than a grand.

garmin 478 fo sho. I has all streets and saltwater preloaded. Now all you need is topos and parks maps instead of everything. you can get one for 819 with 89 for topos and 89 for natl parks maps, or find a friend with some of the maps already.

Also how readily available are the extra maps online for free download. shareware etc?
