FW: [RC] GPS Question - Melanie SloanI meant to send this to the list in case others are looking for info on GPS's. -----Original Message----- From: Melanie Sloan [mailto:mtsloan@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, December 13, 2004 8:27 AM To: Kelly Subject: RE: [RC] GPS Question I did alot of research before I purchased my GPS. I have a Garmin 60c. I was recently created to bridge the gap for car/hiking users. I love it and my husbands says it's the best money we've ever spent. It is a high end model and is fairly expensive (lists for about 450 + 99 software). I found mine for 350 at the GPS Store. Their prices vary by clicking on the "today prices" button. It is color, has more functionality than one would ever outgrow. It is about the size of a walkie talkie. Downloads/uploads to computer and also will tell you any place of interest from where you are (software). ie. On the road and want to know where exit ? is or closest gas/walmart. I use it for training to track milage/miles per hour when riding. Tells you how long you were moving and how long you stopped. Works great in the truck for finding camps late at night based only on address (I'm geographically challenged so it has been my best friend at times!) It's the one on the top of the website... http://www.thegpsstore.com/ Let me know if you have specific questions. I spent so much time looking at these, I hope someone else can benefit from the time I took away from riding!!

I do alot of trail blazing and would like something that can hold memory of trails and maybe even have some kind of connectability to a computer (that is optional though). Also looking for something that keep up with my speed (estimate of course), and tell me the amount of time I have been riding. (or basically a clock). Any ideas or suggestions?
