http://www.garmin.com/us/ new products, user stories, go here to download the latest software for your GPS, but be sure to back up your GPS data first (see www.gpsu.co.uk below for the software) www.geocaching.com great website for geo-cache activities, including many in Colorado www.gpsdrawing.com GPS drawings, it helps to be British www.gpsnow.com check the prices here before you buy somewhere else; compare models, and download owner’s manuals www.gpsoutfitters.com/Vortech%20System.html if you use your GPS inside your car or boat and have signal problems, get this way cool reradiating system. Boosts signal strength inside car so you get improved GPS lock anywhere in the car; extra cool because you don’t need the GPS antenna hookup lacking in less-expensive GPS units
