8M for memory in the eTrex won't hold much.

I bit the bullet last night. Went to REI because I had not even HELD one before. The guy was extremely helpful, spent a lot of time with me. For that reason I paid more than I should have (like, $80 more after my dividend comes back to me), but my wife (rightly) has this thing about the "shopkeeper's law" (don't take up a shopkeeper's time, then go somewhere else with your knowledge instead of rewarding him for his effort).

So I got a bright shiney 60CSx! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />

Oh, and yes it's expensive. By the time you get the software you need (City Nav, and Topo USA, and 12VDC adapter, and a 1GB or 2GB card) it's not only merely expensive, it's really quite sincerely expensive. But I'd rather have a high-zoot GPS that goes from truck to streetbike to dirtbike to hunting pack, than a bunch of cheapies.

The screen is quite fine. Backlighting definitely is good, and it is reputed to be viewable in direct sunlight.

Now I just hafta figger out how to operate the dang thing. But it's coming to me in waves. REI also has a class coming up, free to me. So that figures in to the mix.

Yeah, I have a 2000 XR650R that is sorta dualsported, and I intend to build/modify as necessary to fully dualsport it. And I almost got rid of it! What was I thinking??? An old KDX for strictly woods, a Buell for the street, I'm set for a long long time.
