Hey guys,

First of all a couple of general questions. Complete GPS novice here but I like the idea of being able to use a GPS with my Axim and can get my hands on a Garmin eTrex or eMappretty easily.

My wants:

* Little dot on my mapping software to tell me where I am.
* Routing functions would be nice...




If I get the eMap I can really do almost everything I want on it I THINK (it does routing right) whereas with the eTrex I'm relying on the Axim to eat the data and spit out the information I require.


I don't want to shell out a ton more dough on software either but I hear that Pocket Streets is very limited...


Bearing in mind that the Axim and eTrex or Axim and eMap will be my combinations, what would you guys recommend?

Does no-one have any eTrex/eMap experience?

I just posted my experience with an eTrex here.

BTW - I have tried MS Pocket Streets on the Axim, and the only thing it seems to do is show you where you are on the map you have loaded. I was only able to get that much working a couple of times. Most of the time I needed to re-boot the Axim because it stopped responding. Pocket streets on it's own doesn't have routing/navigation capabilities.
