So how big is that, and what size sd card do you have. Is there any evidence of delay caused by the amount of data?

1 Gigabyte on the internal memory of the Etrex. No delay anticipated. I've got the route broken down state by state on the maps front and hugged chunks of each state have been cropped. Only 11 tracks. Getting the software and hardware to co-operate with each other was the biggest drain on time resources. My 16Gb card is untouched.

I can imagine, and you use the eTrex on your bike? I've only used mine for recording rides so far. It's quite useful walking tho'

It's a tool of last resort. There's going to be huge expanses of America with barely a turn off. It comes into its own in urban environments - it really earned its keep in London, Paris, Budapest, Novi Sad, Belgrade, Vienna and Berlin. More often than not it just sits on the bike mount on my handlebars recording where I've been.

Do your work colleagues know this?

Oh yes i have had a countdown going in the office.

They will probably be glad not to hear about it.

However i will still continue my retirement countdown of 889 working days

I had one of those but still spent my last day explaining how to do something to someone. I even left late!!!!

My son spent his last day in the Army on friday after being medically discharged.( hyper mobility in his lower body ligaments) . On saturday he became the European Powelifting Congress champion in his age and class. Keeping his two world records and adding another one. So not that sick really. Will be really excited when he gets another job!
