I have had this one forever.  It has been a good one.  Many geocaches and hunting trips and even used it for my speeodometer on an old honda with a broken speedo cable.  I got it out about a month ago for the first time in a while and it wouldn't lock onto sattelites.  I googled that problem yesterday and found that if it hasn't been used in a while to turn it on and set it in the open and don't move it for 30 minutes.  I did that and it aquired sattelites.  I turned it on and off several times and it aquired them quickly like it used to.  So I have my hunting gps back and that is what I needed right now anyway.  Thanks for the help.

Good advice.  Thanks for the help.  I think I will continue to use my old magellan meridian for hunting for now and upgrade later.

I am considering getting an etrex 20.  How is it for turn by turn directions?  I will use it for hunting, fishing, geocacheing and turn by turn directions on motorcycle road trips.  I have tried automotive units on my motorcycle and you can't see the screen in the sunlight.  Is the screen on the etrex 20 visible in sunlight?  Thanks for the help.
