I am looking for a map that has a backing that will allow me to use thumbtacks to track the places I have been. Do you have such a product?

This map is printed on a repositionable, self-adhesive fabric that arrives rolled up in a tube. While the map itself does not have any backing that could accommodate push pins, one could adhere it to a surface that could. The fine weave of the fabric itself should hold up better than a paper or laminated map for using with push pins.

Ok. I've looked into this just a little further. You have to buy a GPS that accepts "City Navigator, North America", which is an add-on map on a micro SD card. It's 79.00 from Garmin.

Thank you. Sounds good. Now I want to find it in combo with the NuMaps Lifetime. Nuvi combo have the NuMaps Lifetime for $50 extra, but I can't find this with a combo yet.----------------Garmin said the one with lifetime update for maps (3790LMT) would be out in September, keep checking their website. Said the cost was $499.99. I hate to spend that money, but am getting the voice activated one for safety reasons. Said it was shipped to Best Buy, but I can find it only in Canada...

Thank you so much :) I am not sure of that but I think it has a downloadable history as it keeps a history of your trips.

Magellan Maestro 4250 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator (Factory Refurbished) My comments are covered in those posted. Selling a GPS with outdate maps is unacceptable. Also, I don't find it intutive at all. I need to carry a copy of the manual with me to get it to do what i want. My TOMTOM program running on my palm was far better but they quit supporting map upgrades so I purchased the Maestro. I don't recommend it.

Spot on. Has built in Google maps for in depth tracking. I love it and still use it

You should be able to use it anywhere. It will give you a track and will tell you your speed, altitude and other things. It has no base map though, which you maybe don't need.

Anyone who has purchased this: Can you please tell me how the software is? Does it glitch? Is it slow or fast? How does the navigation work? Is it completely different then Google Maps?

It has GPS, but most people found the software implementation to be seriously lacking. It takes a while to update your position. I've read that this has been fixed in the FroYo pre-release that was leaked, though, so it may be better once the official release hits in September.

I haven't used it yet but it does track where you have gone so that you can take the same way back. I bought it for equine trails. The map is not loaded but I found a sight where it's only around 9 bucks. You can fine many different maps there. It's called way points. You set way point & it draws a line from one to the next. You can set as many as you want on your trail. I plan to set one at every trail head. https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/maps/on-the-trail-maps/c452-c456-p1.html

I think they made the map system years ago, but they have updates that make it current, you can download for free.

I know the National Geographic TOPO! software can upload and download waypoints and tracks and routes (I do that all the time). But this post suggests you can upload MAPS?? That would be wonderful, but I don't think so.This is a direct quote from the NG website, as of april 2007: "Note: Waypoints and routes will be transferred to your GPS unit, but maps cannot be transferred or viewed on your GPS unit."There is a related product from NG, called "Pocket Topo", that puts the maps on a PDA. So if you have a GPS-enabled PDA, that's how to get NG maps combined with GPS. But it does not work with a normal GPS, e.g. a GPSMAP 60CSx. You have to have a PDA with GPS, which Garmin and others sell. I know the National Geographic TOPO! software can upload and download waypoints and tracks and routes (I do that all the time).

It does, but it is a little different from most gps sensors in that the map program has to explicitly use it. Nokia "Here Maps" uses it.

The etrexH has a compass pointer that points to your GC and shows the distance to the GC. I have a Nuvi 750 and I don't remember it having the pointer. Because of this I would choose the etrexH for geocache hunting any day over the Nuvi.

TOMTOM can update the map as you connect the device with computer online. It works very well.

When it came to the GPS function, I didnt really find it helpful. The map on the camera does not show you pin point where you are. Its just a map unless I did it wrong. It does come with a disk to download but I didnt do that either. I think it supposed to GPS tag your photo but I didnt see that either so I just treat it as a camera without GPS.
