I had a look at one yesterday and would have bought it but there is no
facility for downloading track points or uploading a data base.
The PC interface is only for outputting current position data.
I'll contact the manufacturer to see if this might be possible. It
certainly isn't mentioned in the manual.
Otherwise it looks to be a good unit for the price.
