Thanks,
You all have had some really good advice, thanks. I am activly involved in other outdoor events like, Camping, Hiking, Four Wheeling, Model Rocket Launching, Traveling, Sight Seeing, etc. so the auto routing would be nice. I also think if I were to get the feature of auto routing I would spend the extra and get the mapping software. I really appericate the advice. I am stating to concider the Lowrance. do any of you have any other comments on this line of GPS? it looks like they may have a good product going at comparable prices. my concern is ongoing software support. any help would be great.
Thanks again,
The Redmonds
