Hi John, Bob and List, As Bob mentioned, I'm using an old dinosaur of a GPS -- one of the old Garmin 45's. While this unit has served me well for a decade, it has many limitations which are forcing me to get a replacement this year. Its most important drawback is pitiful memory -- it will only hold 1000 combined waypoints and track points. This is fine for a 1-day trip, but no good for a multi-day trip without a computer. So I'll be shopping for a unit that can store at least 10,000 points. (Probably all of today's units can easily handle this.) I also want it to be WAIS-enabled. Maps are nice, but not really necessary since most of the places I would meteorite hunt are pretty much featureless (by design!) anyway.
Finally, I'd like it to be able to output data in a human-readable protocol (as the Garmin 45 does). That way I can easily convert it into any other protocol that mapping software (or my own software) requires. If someone has already done the legwork on evaluating Garmin and Magellan models and knows which units are compatible with these requirements, I'm all ears.
