looks to me like it's a milk snake (no not a milk SHAKE) i have heard of these kinds of snakes, being a boy scout. Actually, its a northern water snake. edited for spelling.

I used that map set on a recent trip to puerto rico and i was very impressed with the level of detail in the topo's on my 60csx. Heck, it even has the roads on some of the small island cay's. I can't comment on the maps of the other islands but judging by the way the PR mapset is setup I would say you won't be dissapointed.

I ordered a car charger for my vista a couple of years ago (three pin slide) but they sent a usb type for GPSMAP 60. When I contacted them they said keep the charger, we'll send you what you originally ordered. now that I have uprgraded to a GPSMAP 60Csx, I"m finally able to use the USB charger!

Who Are The Lurkers? Introduce Yourself.

GPSherper here... Alittle history- I bought an etrex (old yeller) in 1998 for use on a trip to wyoming for some field work with amphibians, heard about geocaching around that time and joined the site. Never got a chance to look for a cache. Yeller served me quite well as a spedometer for my bike, hiking buddy, canoe-ing pal, etc. It had truly turned me into a techno geek... In 2000, I upgraded to the Vista, I was hooked on the mapping ability and the storage capacity. The silver vista traveled to wyoming, kauai, Costa rica, North Woods of maine, the everglades. I take it with on business trips to amuse myself and my work buddies. Before jet blue was showing us where we were in the sky, i was logging air speed, alititude and location on the vista (i know, i know, bad idea!). I rejoined this site under a new name (long since forgot my original handle) in 2005 and lurked the forums. I attempted a near by cache but it was not to be found. I find the info on the hardware forum instrumental in my upgrading to a GPSMAP 60Csx, using NiMH batteries and deciding on mapping software. So far I think the CSX is sweet, I'm flying to Puerto Rico this friday to test it out on El Yunque. I don't have much to add to most threads but when something stirkes me, I plan to participate. Till then, I shall lurk...
