Now you've tweaked my interest! What kind of GPS did you buy and why did you buy it? What fun! I ended up with a low end wired Cat Eye computer purchased by my family for my birthday. So far, it serves me well. All the info on this post will be put away for a later date when I am sure I will be wanting bigger, better, more. The people who have responded to this discussion have been so helpful and give detailed, informed data. Thanks again!
