Love my TomTom. Would never own another Garmin product after buying an
eTrex Vista C... great product, but came, for the first time I know
of, without NMEA standard data interface, so you are trapped with
using--and paying dearly for--Garmin-only applications. Greedy @$%#$%.
Like buying a VW and being forced to use their special coolant or
something. Say, wait a minute...
