I wonder if an exterior antenna could be utilized in the truck. I would not want to lose the signal while holding it in my hand ,driving. But if it would get the job done in an emergency, for $149.00 I would try it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

I really like the idea of having one that can be taken out of the vehicle.

Alright brutha, I did a little lookin'. If you buy an etrex or GPSMAP 60 series before 31DEC, you get $50 back. Go here, figure out which one you want, print the rebate pdf, buy the gps with your Best Buy bucks (I suggest adding some to it and buying the monochrome 60 because you get external molded antenna and external antenna plug in expandability <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />) and send smile for a long, long time. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh yeah, the etrex does not have an external antenna port.

I hope this helps...

And Les, yes, I do agree that ANY GPS is definitely better than NO GPS.
