Well, I picked up the Foretrex 101 at the new REI here. So far, I'm prety pleased with it. I got a fix within a few minutes of powering it up in my house, and set my first waypoint. Google Maps put the coordinates right on top of my house.
I have to say, it seems odd that you have to set a waypoint in order to find out where you are. There should be a page that shows you "You Are Here" without having to do that. Oh well, it only takes two seconds to hold the button to mark the spot.
Eventually, I'll get a more elaborate unit, but for right now, this is all I need, I think. My compass and map skills won't be replaced by an electronic gadget!
