However on the laptop WinXPSP2 no talkback at all even though the port shows up in settings and dissapears when the adapter is removed.. All the port settings look good and the driver was the one advised from the tech helpers at the purchace site. Any thurther thoughts anyone.................

You can always do a postcode search at www.multimap.com which will get you close and has always seemed accurate to me. I know (as Klaus pointed out) that geocache.com does a post code search but for some reason it places me about 2.5 miles west of my real post code position. Regards

Well I've done it.. Bought the Legend in the end.. Been using it for a few weeks now and thoroughly love it.. Just downloaded te free maps so more fun to come. Many thanks to everybody for the help and pointers... Just need to get the USB/Serial drivers to work on the laptop and then all will be hunkydory. Cheers

Many thanks for the replies.. Very good advice which I will take good note of.... Looks like the Legend may be the one for us.. Regards MY

Hi All. Much searching has been done but would like a few pointers here. I'm new to the scene here but understand the choice between the etrex yellow and the etrex legend ( you get what you pay for) and the Legend is the weapon of prefered choice feature wise ie data cable included etc However there is now the new GPS60 which has had little dicussion here (that I have found). I'm ready to buy my first unit and would be greatful to hear the pros and cons between the Legend and the new GPS60 for caching. Buy the way I live in the UK so any pointers for the cheapest/most reliable seller would be great... Wish I could buy at the US prices.. Many thanks
