many guys who ride audax rides use the eTrex and they all speak very highly of them
I am training for Audax rides but may end up getting a Garmin Edge 1000 (some really good features which appeal to me) and will use an external battery pack (which I already have). This will sit in a handlebar bag and charge the GPS and mobile phone etc... I can use this on all my bikes
I'm busy customising my Surly LHT for touring and will add a Son 28 dynamo hub with dynamo lights and an E-Werk charger and also use the Garmin Edge 1000
