Hello all, Does anyone have any news of when V8 might be available? I want CN, but will wait for V8 if it is due soon. Thanks! GVMO Crew

I owned a Legend C for a short while before upgrading to a Cx, and that has been my experience. There is an Alarm clock on my Cx. Odd that there is no mention of it in the owners manual, other than showing up in the Main Menu screenshot on page 54 in the users manual here: http://www.garmin.com/manuals/eTrexLegendCx_OwnersManual.pdf I thought I had read that the Alarm Clock was removed from the new 60 and 70 series GPS units. I am happy with my Cx! HTH, GVMO Crew

I just got my Palm IIIxe. I read somewhere that it is best to remove and replace one battery at a time, instead of removing both at once. Here it is (from the Palm IIIxe FAQ): ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Changing the alkaline batteries in your Palm device If you use a device that uses AAA alkaline batteries, please review the following guidelines when changing the batteries. 1. Perform a HotSync® operation with your desktop computer immediately before changing batteries. This ensures that the latest version of your personal data is backed up onto your desktop computer. 2. Have your new batteries on hand. Open the package and place the batteries near your handheld. You have one minute or less to replace batteries without losing data on your handheld. 3. Remove the handheld battery door. Check your device's handbook for a diagram of the battery door. 4. Take one battery out of the handheld, noting its orientation, and place it to the side away from the new batteries. 5. Place a new battery where the old one was, with the same orientation (the battery compartment also shows proper orientation with "+" and "-" symbols). 6. Repeat this for the other side (note that the orientation is different). 7. Slide the battery door back in place to close it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I am assuming that these directions apply to all Palm models that use 2 alkaline batteries. I haven't had the opportunity to change my batteries yet, but I hope this helps! GVMO Crew

I am new to geo-caching and I am currently using a Legend C. I would like to upgrade to a Legend Cx and had several questions: 1) Are the Cx units available for shipping? All the sites I checked said "arrival in mid to late January". I didn't see any that noted that they are shipping yet. Even my Local Dicks Sporting Goods (more $'s!) store says the same. If these units are shipping, could someone please point me in the right direction. 2) The Legend C has 24 megs internal memory. The Garmin site says "The eTrex Legend Cx is loaded with the same popular features found in the eTrex Legend C" so I assume the internal memory is in the Cx as well. Does the Cx have the internal 24 megs as well, or does it just rely on the microSD card? 3) Where is the SD slot located on the unit? Under the battery cover, or elsewhere.... 4) Not Cx specific; Where is the best place to get the City Navigator maps? Thanks in advance for all your help! Greg and Val
