Roger,

Thanks for the link. Interesting info, by viewing the maps available there is not enough detail in the areas that I do most of my kayaking and canoeing (central Canada) to make the higher end units any more useful than the standard Etrex. Being a cheap scotsman, if there is no major improvements in the map detail for the new models I will most likely get the Etrex.

: Ken,
: Here’s a helpful link.

: Click on the link below. On the right hand side of the page is the “Mapsource
: Map Viewer”. Click on “select a map product down arrow“ to find the
: country, province or state you are interested in. There are sometimes
: multiple styles of maps that cover the same area.

: I’ve found these map viewers quite interesting. I like to open multiple
: styles and zoom into the same area to see how they compare.

: You might be right about the Canadian maps. They don't seem to have the level
: of detail that's included with the stateside maps.
