Mr. Mason, I heard you finally got you one and love it.

I just wanted to share some things with you that you may be interested in or may already have, I don't know.
Glad you got ya one.

Anyway, I'm sure you've already heard that garmin has better maps that you can download. However, if your like me, all that takes too much time and can be a pain in the rear end

, if ya know what I mean. I like the simpler things in life, and i'm sure most of us do.
With that being said, Garmin has some "Preprogrammed microSD cards." ;)They have many different regions that are loaded with
detail, including terrain contours, elevation information, trails, summits, rivers, lakes and roads.Also, they have an awesome antenna that will give you a lot more range (3-miles more.) It's good for that thick brush or high and low terrian situations you may encounter. Or, if the dogs run over a mile out and your loosing signal and have to climb a tree to pick up signal (like I had to do last year several times), this may work well for you.
So yeah, hope this helps you and anybody else just getting started with their garmin. Your gonna love it!
Here's a few pics....
