Mobility Site - View Single Post - Software questions for Axim/Garmin eTrex combo

Ok. I have my Axim. I have my Garmin eTrex Venture. Went the home-brew way and bought the Dell Serial cable and the gender benders from Radio Scrap.

The eTrex comes with 1 MB of internal memory and I'm under the impression that if you have a PPC, there's no reason to download additional maps/info to your GPS unit unless you want to use it by itself (hunting, fishing, etc.). Is that correct?

Now regarding software, I have Microsoft Streets & Trips 2003 and MapPoint 2002. Are these sufficient? Is there anything better here @ Handango for around $50?
