    $200 to spend on a handheld gps with integrated topo maps. What would you buy?

    I have $200-250 to spend on one that I'll use mounted in my rig (it will be a secondary gps to compliment my iPad). I'm open to buying a used or refurbished unit as well as new ones. I've been on Amazon looking at the Garmin 60 and 62 units which my friends have been using so I'm confident...

    In other words, do any of the Android Topo applications only require a single download that includes topographic data so I don't have to regularly download map data for each new trip?

    Any suggestions for a legless vehicle awning?

    I recall there are some out of S.Africa (http://live4x4.co.za/products/awnings/) but not sure if they're still available... available in the US or what their prices are. Fiamma makes one but it's pretty pricey and the wrong dimensions. Anyone have any other alternatives? I'm thinking $400-500...

    I'll be going on a trip to Alaska where I'll have an opportunity to do some snorkeling! That said, I want to be sure to document the event and began my search for a way to get relatively good shots without spending too much money since I don't have a need to shoot underwater very often. I...
