I am attending a post bike-tour party tomorrow (drink beer, swap stories and review hundreds of pictures on somebody's 60" monitor). The party host (neighbor and friend) uses a Garmin (I use a Magellan). We plan to set up a little technology demo showcasing both our units side-by-side. We'll show how routes and waypoints are defined and loaded, and the various device display features. It will be a friendly competition since the trip coordinator (annual trip across Wisconsin following a different route every year) is thinking about offering maps in GPS waypoint format next year as well as paper. We each would presumably like to convince him to use our chosen product line. But I don't care either way. I'm interested in the little quirks and shortcomings of each one. I think whichever the route-coordinator choses we both will keep our own and support others who may choose either.
