You have probably considered this, but… Since you are still in your 30 day return period, I would exchange the SporTrak Pro for the Meridian Gold. The Gold uses similar screen set up, relatively the same base map at 16 MB, and you can use any SD card for downloading detailed maps for use on the road/trails. All this and you save $25.00 on a unit you are less likely to out-grow any time soon, unless you get the feeling you MUST have a color screen. I was still in my 30 period when I noticed the cracks in my STP Marine, and exchanged it for the Gold and love it. Just an option everyone has one Thanks for the suggestion. We are considering an exchange for another unit. How is the size and weight of the Meridian gold vs. STP? You can email me your reply if you want so that we don't clutter up this thread.

Just purchased a SportTrak Pro from the offroute.com site 1/21/04 and have only used it a couple of times. The D/C number is 26/03. Some discoloration around the lower 4 screw locations in the top case. So far, only noticed some slight bulging of the top case and the rubber gasket. Will monitor to see if cracks develop. Also considering backing out the screws slightly, but concerned about waterproofness. Would not have noticed these imperfections without this thread. I have not tried to inspect the case with a magnifying glass so don't know if incipient cracks exist. RLTS P.S. I'm a little bummed because I recently recommended this unit to a friend because of all the good features and accuracy of the STP. He ordered his online last week.
