Well go to any plave that sells the GPS and pay thru the nose for them. The last time I looked they were about $150 per area

Lebarons Basspro Most fishing stores would have them too
 
The Magellan Explorist 500 that Canadian Tire has on for half price is it a good unit?

Donny I missed out. Saw in the bass pro flyer. They had those legends on sale on boxing day. $99.99 I guess I should go pick up the mail a little more often. Have you tried out yours yet?

If you want some good GPS practice - go to http://www.geocaching.com/ which is an international inventory of hidden treasures (read: coins and doodads) all over the world. Using a GPS you find these hidden items, log you visit, take a doodad (if you want) and leave a different doodad.

Good for a walk and fun with the kids. Some are hidden at the top of mountains, so not just for geeks. Best part is that you can use google earth to find caches near you, or where you are going.

I picked up a DVD on how to use my Garmin Rino 120 from Wholesale Sports a couple of years ago. These DVDs are available for a lot of current DVDs and they show how / when the features of your DVD can be used. I would think that they would be available at most places (at least larger stores) that sell GPSs and mapping software. They would be valuable if you are a complete newbie to GPS use.
