I have used this about once or twice since I have owned it. I bought it off my uncle about a year or two ago who purchased it and never once used it. I do have the owners manual for it as well. Device runs off of two AA batteries. The GPS is in excellent condition. The screen does not have a single scratch or nick on it. The rubber casing on the back has a slight imperfection from when it rubbed against my digi cam in my pocket once. We’ll let the pictures do the talking here. I am looking to get $50 + ship for it. If using paypal, buyer must cover fee as well. Thanks! ![http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/302/img0372tm8.jpg](http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/302/img0372tm8.jpg) ![http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/5049/img0374ah8.jpg](http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/5049/img0374ah8.jpg) ![http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/3364/img0375ai5.jpg](http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/3364/img0375ai5.jpg) **From Garmin** : Outdoor enthusiasts, geocachers and anyone looking for adventure will love this little yellow wonder. eTrex combines intuitive, easy-to-use features and a rugged exterior into a lightweight package that is only four inches high and two inches wide.

Can it be plugged into a computer to make maps over say a topographic map? I may be interested in this to map out some mountain bike routes, also are you anywheres near the albany area? If so I could pick it up to save the shipping hastle. ---

I may be interested in this to map out some mountain bike routes, also are you anywheres near the albany area? If so I could pick it up to save the shipping hastle. I am pretty sure you can purchase a computer data cable to import/export maps. It can probably be had on ebay or a similar site for cheap. I would doublecheck with garmin first since i’m not 100% positive. But I think you can. The only few times I used it was when I went mountain biking. It really came in handy, had total/avg. distance, current/avg mph, you know all that fun stuff. I am in the Albany/Colonie area. Here is a link to garmin’s site: [https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=6403](https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=6403) It shows a PC data cable but it’s 60 bucks from them. I bet you can find it on amazon or ebay for cheap. ---

hmm I have to find out if its compatible with my mac also, yeah I’ve been looking into getting a GPS for bike mapping and your price is right, so if I find out it will work with my mac and can do mapping functions with the data I take off of it then I will def pick it up. ---

OK dude. Let me know as soon as possible. I have it listed on 3 other forums and craigslist, and have already gotten one other inquiry from craigslist (although I havn’t heard back from him yet.). My email is [westcoastenvyx@gmail.com](mailto:westcoastenvyx@gmail.com) or you can contact me through here since I check this site a few times a day. ;D ---

I am almost certain this will work with a mac. I think there is windows and mac versions of software you can get. BUMPP. ---

Hey sorry I never got back to you, I actually just ordered a new Garmin Edge 205 gps made for biking because I had a little more extra cash than I thought I would for a GPS setup. Thanks for supplying the info anyways. ---
