Bikes: I tour on a Waterford Adventurecycle. It is a fabulous touring bike.

I was already to buy the Vista eTrex and then I read about the adhesive unsticking and the idea of having to remove the glue and then reattach it without causing a problem seems like something I'd rather not do. Also, the cost of the maps makes the initial price difference meaningless.

On the other hand, the DeLorme PN-40 has really bad battery life, which on a bike seems to be a major shortcoming.

I'm now leaning toward the DeLorme but don't like the idea of having to carry lots of batteries just to keep the GPS working.

Anyone with PN-40 experience on a bike tour out there?
