Ok, application in the post! I had to rephrase my "get in" message three
times to trim it down to 200 letters :( Still. At least I'm trying. Very
Trying :)

I've been googling for this missing item but still can't find it :(

Of course, I think the drawback of having a GPS as a gift was that it was
bought in the USA! Garmin Etrex Legend with US Maps and I live in the UK :)

Hence why I have a lot of waypoints!
