I am new at GPS (a map and compass guy) but I did my first Geocaching the other week and loved it. I could also use it for hiking ect. I am looking at the Garmin 60CS/C or the Meridian Platinum or Gold I have three questions; 1.) I may be traveling to India/Nepal. Do USA GPS's work in Asia? Is there anything I would have to add to make them work in Asia? 2.) Could/where would I get maps for to import into my GPS for Asia? 3.) Are maps that are loaded into a GPS brand/model specific? Would a National Geographic Topo go into a Meridian and a Garmin, or if I had Garmin Mapsource Topo would it be able to load into a Meridian? Thanks

Does this just turn off the Electronic compass but keep the compass if you are moving on?
