<br />Rhodie: Just want to let you know I'd also be interested in your experiences with ESRI.

RTJim: I'll be following in your exact footsteps gearwise (and experience w/it)and would be greatful if you could continue posting your experiences here at the GT forum.

David: In your opinion, for the neophyte GPS user that wants to explore both on and off-road in Thailand, are we best served with the basic Garmin Mapsource Worldmap and a couple of your hard copy maps?

Thanks in Advance.

Yes on both accounts.
1. RTJim pls keep us informed on how you go
2. Bring your GPS & use a hard copy map. Both will probably let you down in odd places, but at least with the hardy copy map you should be able to see the big picture. I always travel with both, but note that the guys with just the GPS will always be asking to look at your hard copy map to see the big picture & see where they are!

RTJim & border_rider are either of you in Cnx & want to meet up?

Guys, nothing to report yet on my GPS but I'd like to thank everyone for the useful information. I did do a lot of research on BMS mounting systems and found some interesting stuff. I also found a place in the US (http://www.gpsdiscount.com) that sells the 276c for $585 with free domestic shipping. I'm hoping to get back to the US in June and will pick one up then.

David, I'm in CNX most of the time and would be up for a drink most any time.

The way I create routes whilst riding, I just hold the Enter button doen for 5 secs and this logs the waypoint where you are at the time. It allocates the next available number, then the next time i stop, quickly write against the number what the way point is. With the 176/276 I find I have no problem pressing the Enter key whilst riding.

Hope this helps
