I see that Garmin has posted a ver 3.10 on their website for the Venture Cx http://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=1599

In this litgious age, I can't blame some airlines for not allowing the use of GPS devices while underway. Having said that, my Etrex Cx meets the requirements of 47 CFR Part 15-B, as does my laptop. Yet, I can use my laptop onboard commercial aircraft, but not my Etrex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Part_15_(FCC_...ional_radiators Garmin also says that my Etrex meets EN 55022:1998, EN 61000-3-2, and EN 60950-2:2001, which my laptop doesn't even meet.

Look for a smart charger that has: individual cell charging; cell conditioning, and; user programmable charge rates. Heat is the enemy of most types of rechargeable batteries. Some smart chargers have sensors to prevent overheating in rapid charging mode, but if time permits, use the lowest charging rate possible.

Yes. I'd like to be able to put all my map files on a DVD.

Can anyone confirm that the drift problem is not effecting new units. I'd be interested in knowing as well. I'm thinking of 'pulling the trigger' on a new Legend HCx, mostly for motorcycling and occasional geocaching. Maybe I should just get an older Cx model?
