OK, Now I have the tackle shop worked out - now for the other toy :).

I'll be driving to Sydney over the long weekend, and will be looking at buying a Garmin Etrek while I'm there (as well as the Alvey and Surf Rod). I want the Garmnin for the Troopy, as well as bushwalking and fishing. As I've been reading maps for 40 years (and using GPS's for 6) so I don't want the "bells and whistles" - just nice simple six figure grid references.

As I'll be staying in Caringbah, does anyone know of suppliers in the St George-Sutherland Shire - preferably cheap ones :). I know I can get it over the internet at Johnny Appleseeds for $296 + postage, but I'd rather deal with a real person :)

I got My Etrex From Johhny Appleseeds and I spoke to a real person for the few questions I had, the item was delivered on time and they give you a few feel good pieces of paper abut how keen they are to offer after sales service - over the phone.

I am not unhappy with the purchase.

Cheers
Steve.
