What GPS fits me?

[MoGas]

What I'm looking for would be within this box of requirements:

Color display
Ability to work real time with Topo! software when hooked up to laptop
Handheld
<$400.00 USD
Optional antenna that mounts to vehicle


I know there are great GPS units out there that are for vehicle mounting only, but I use my GPS when hiking, biking scouting and hunting along with driving.

I have Topo! software for several states (at $99.00 each) and would rather not have to run new software as I am comfortable with the Topo! program.

I haven't done it yet, but I believe my old Garmin eTrex Legend will communicate real time with the laptop via Topo!. I haven't tried it yet as my laptop doesn't have a RS232 port and so I need to go to town and get an adapter to go from serial to USB to try it out.

Thanks for your help,
Dave

look in all the other GPS threads as you'll get the same answers as those.

as to comparability with your topo, check that in said program

Only place it does not work to well is on my dirt bike as the front brake cable
gets in the way of the ariel.

It I could change screen rotation it would be 100%

I will second this one. I love mine and use it for hiking, Geo Caching as well as Jeeping. It's a great unit and can run real time with a normal USB cable connected to your laptop. You can find good deals on them if you search but you can always get them for less than your budget.
