Its main deficiencies where no external antenna jack (it couldnt recieve in armoured vehicles so had to live in an open turret), small screen, and controls that too me werent that user friendly though they were ergonomically placed.

Im am interested in the Colonel's recommendation though I am concerned about using rechargable batts while out in the field ( I like the idea of having a unit I can use in the car but dismounted too). Im used to carrying disposables for the obvious reason.

Ive seen the gpsmap60 around even at my level and they are very good, plus they use disposables.

x SF med, what are you racing (old nacra 5.2 here)?
