If you are already using MS Streets and Trips there is a new bundle with Streets & Trips 2005 and a Pharos GPS-360 w/USB connector. I believe the price on the bundle is $129 but CompUSA had it on sale last week for $79 It is my first GPS unit and I am loving it so far. It was even the GPS unit I wanted since this unit can also be inserted into a CF sleeve or a Bluetooth sleeve. I have never used a GPS unit before so I can't say comparitivly how good it is but it has been great fun so far. Found two cache's sunday and that was enough to let mw know that carrying a laptop around is kind of cumbersome but at least I can plug it into my pocket pc when I find the CF adapter. Good luck with your trip, I know I can't wait to take my next road trip!!

I picked up the Streets and Trips 2005/GPS bundle at CompUSA this weekend, the last day of the sale (yay). This is my first GPS unit so I do not know how well it compares with any other systems. I have used Streets and Trips 2002 and Map Point 2002 and now S&T 2005. I have been wanting a GPS for a couple of years now, and once I found geocaching.com I wanted one even more. I was going to upgrade my pocket pc to a bluetooth version and wanted a bluetooth GPS but thast didn't pan out so this bundle works out fine. Plus since it is the Pharos GPS-360 model the USB cable can be unplugged and it can be placed in a CF sleeve or Bluetooth sleeve so I still got the GPS I wanted. I think I am going to have to find the CF sleeve for my pocket pc though because carrying a laptop around with a cable slung over my back while traffic drives by makes me feel a little geeky self concious, but it led to my first cache so who cares!
