That's right wizard, I can load my routes, waypoints and notes from my GPS to my PC or vice versa. I like to use my topo maps to create a route on my PC then transfer it to my unit. I love my GPS and wouldn't be without it. My brother in law and sister were going to hike into a lake that has no trails to it, I offered to let them use my Emap, they said they would find it ok without it.....They never found it. I told him I could have walked straight to it and I brought it up on the GPS and showed him . Now he's a believer.

B4 you buy check out the colour screen in direct sunlight, my Garmin 176c's screen washes out in the sunlight or a very bright overcast day.
I also have a Garmin e'trex vista that I like a lot better, it has the normal screen.
Here in Ontario I use the Fugawi software to upload & download trail,track & waypoints. This company has Topographic cd roms for just about anywhere in the world.
I've used a GPS fopr snowmobiling for the past 5 yrs, wouldn't be without it, I would recommend puchasing the 12 volt adaptor to
utilize your sleds 12 volt system to power it

Would you post the price of the color software for the Maggellan if you buy it?

Hey guys I just finished buying the Meredian Platinum. If you buy before New Years Eve (for those of us in Canada) you get a $50 US rebate from Magellan.
Anyone who has a RAM mount I would love to know how you mounted your GPS and where you mounted it. Also how are you powering the unit while riding?
I got mine from www.gpscentral.ca
