All,

Thanks very much for your help!

I ended up with a Garmin Legend Cx, and it seems nice. Based on the 
links provided by geowankers, I was able to create acceptable topos and 
put them into the unit, and using Linux even!

I hope that they might be useful to the community, and I would welcome 
any feedback.

Thanks again,

Reid
