I don't trust those shonky maps. There something not right about them.

Be warned. You saw it here first.

just comparing the Hcx Vista v's Legend.. is the Compass and Altmeter worth the extra $30

If it's only $30 it'd have to be worthit.

Agreed.

possibly a good idea as you can't upgrade existing GPS with the extra $$ ... time to scan ebay.. unless there are any better or other places to buy

Are any of the US online stores worth checking?

my vista came the other day.. still getting to grips with operation as its a whole lot different to the basic etrex..
Does anyone know where its documented the specs for WP data format
eg how long can they be on this model?
I think from what I count its 12 but from my scan of owners manual it doesn't offically say.. ie WP name and WP description/note
