[Az-Geocaching] Merry Christmas Caching presents

[Steven Stringham]

I have looked at the Mag. Exp. 600. A few items I am concerned about.
1) While it does have a USB port, it does not have a serial port. Some 
programs still don't have USB support for interface support.
2) The batteries are rechargeable. Can they be replaced with AAs? That 
would be an issue for me on trips or backcountry hikes. Can't replace 
the batteries.
3) I don't like the way if feels in the hand?

The SD card is a big item, however....

Anybody want to comment further?
