kool pix, gecko.

just a couple of notes about the etrex...having it in the center of the car like that isn't the best positioning for the GPS signal...it needs a clear view of the sky. you'll get more accurate fixes and faster initial fix if you put it somewhere like the dash.

also there is an advanced sky view mode which gives you positions of the satellites in the sky, # satellites & relative signal strength...if your etrex doesn't have it you can d/l the latest f/w from garmin and update it.
