I'm pretty happy with mine. Although the Garmin format has not yet been reverse-engineered fully; you can't search by street name or postcode, which makes it rather fiddly for doing journeys even if you have the routable maps. And the map redraw speed is pretty slow at low zoom. Gerv _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
