Derek, I'm really curious about the Delorme Tripmate. Does the GPS receiver
tie into the computer? How do you find it to be useful? Do you find the
DeLorme CDROM mapping info to be accurate? I use their Gazetter publications
and find that I can't always count on them when I get down to the one-lane
dirt trail/roads.
