Many thanks for the above replies, I had it in mind to not bother with the "s" as like a lot of you said it's just as easy to use compass. I also thought about getting some rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries, anybody any thoughts on them?
Thanks to Omega 2 for the offer of free contour mapping. I would like that please.
I'm not to worried about the mapping to use the GPSr, as I have a Tom Tom Sat Nav. This was another reason for wondering whether to get the 60C or as suggested a Geko perhaps, havn't looked at them yet, will do so now.
