2 tips. Have a look at decathalon. They have those 5 sec pop-up ones, and some are quite large. Not sure what the largest size is. tEHy are on view at their stores. Secondly try the ukcampsute forum. it has loads of tenters. ekso

but gone today

...and its gone again....oh dear! Mark getting withdrawal symptons.

I too had a lot of probvlem doing this. Using hte Export to PDA has helped. thanks Ekso

ok, I'll go to ebay ( US) and see what I can get. thank you all for the replies.

I'll definetly use this. Thanks. I still need to know if I am ok with purchasing an American GPS unit, for use in UK ? specifically to do with basemaps.

Ekso, Do not concern yourself overly with the base map - it's pish! ...and that goes for whatever unit you settle for. Assuming you are looking for a unit that will store hi-rez maps, when you install them, as you will eventually want to, the hi-rez maps are displayed instead of the basemap. Shop through eBay for a good deal but do your research first - new units can be bought at reasonable prices from European sources. I got my Vista C from: Aspidshop... ...based in Portugal I believe. The unit arrived at crack-of-sparrows the very next day. Cheaper, faster - and a European unit too. Just had a look as site myself. It's fantastics. Alrady on my favourites. So, whwt you're saying is that if the basemap does not matter, should I get one from the US. I have friends that come to the UK regulary. Lastly, which one !! Garmin Vista ?

thanks, just not trusting of ebay sellers. My preferance was to use a dedicated forum. So, what did you b-i-l get ?

Hello, I have tried to use the main "GPS Garage Sale" forum, but notice it is heavily US based. I have been told I cannot use US GPS units beacuse of the basemap not being UK. Can anyone guide me on this, thanks Ekso
