HI Rogere, Thanks. Someone told me that the Sportrak was selling for $250 from Sendero, that seems high if it's less than half on-line, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that it's lower than that now. Best Regards,

I am presently using both in Wisconsin and will give a report later this month, before I go to Florida for business and let you know if any difference in acuracy or advantages. The one good thing about either receiver is that the serial cable will attach to either gps reciever, so you don't have to buy a new cable for $29.00. The Sportrak magellan sells for $108.00 online, not from Sendaro group, but that does not come with the serial cable. It also runs on two double AA batteries and they fit in the butt end of the receiver instead of pulling off the back of the magellan 310. otherwise they are both about the same size and weight, but you also need to buy the special carrying case for the sportrak receiver from Sendaro group for I believe $29.00 too. Finally, for those who haven't taken advantage of my free offer for a gps 2.0 users manual in braille, I still will honor any requests for sometime yet, so give me your name, and mailing address and I will shoot you one out, it is 112 pages long in braille on 11 by 11 inch paper.
