[Az-Geocaching] Merry Christmas Caching presents

[Steven Stringham]

Is the SD the primary draw?  Are there any others?

For Cachemate - I use my Treo 600. This I depend on.

But, I am using an etrex vista. A nice unit. I do not have any mapping 
software to upload maps with (but I do have other mapping software).

Since I bought it at REI, I am thinking I might do an upgrade. Just pay 
the difference. But, it is a concideration only at present. So, if you 
had a choice, what you carry.

The 60CS looks a lot nicer to me than the 60c, in large part because of 
the digital compass. (This is a feature on my Vista that I greatly 
apprieciate). I would like to get the local streets in there as well. 
Can I upload real topos as well?

 The external antenna looks good. Does it really make a difference from 
the patch antenna of the Vista? I have trouble inside my minivan with my 
vista, but not so much in my geo metro. Maybe it has something to do 
with the electronics in the roof.

So, I am just thinking. I like some of the features of the Rino530, but 
it only allows 500 waypoints. I really like the 1000WP of my vista.

Anybody using a tomtom?
