I see in a local add that Bushnell has a hand-held GPSR that _claims_ to
be able to use "Satellite Photography". Does this mean that I can use maps from Google maps or other download maps? My biggest complaint with my Garmin 76Cx is the limited up-to-date maps. Have any of you tried one of these units? Ted |

My biggest complaint with my Garmin 76Cx is the limited up-to-date maps. Have any of you tried one of these units? The latest Garmin units (Oregon/Colorado?) can use either vector maps or georeferenced bitmaps. People I know have used both of those capabilities to use them with orienteering maps: http://news.worldofo.com/2009/10/11/...-a-garmin-map/ and http://news.worldofo.com/2009/10/14/...ng-quickroute/ Good luck!
