Hikers, Skiers, Mountain Bikers, ATVrs, Dirt Bikers, Snowmobilers, etc.,

Wissenbach Map3D now works with the Garmin eTrex Vista C, because I've added
USB support. As far as I can tell from reading the Garmin IO specification,
the program should also work just fine with the Garmin 60 CS and eTrex
Legend C. (Please let me know if you try the program with one of these
units!)

By the way, I am very impressed with the Vista C which I purchased in order
to develop and test this new feature of Wissenbach Map3D. The readability of
the screen and usability of the menu system have both been improved over the
eTrex Legend, which itself was an improvement of the eTrex Summit. I can
highly recommend the VistaC to anyone considering purchasing a GPS receiver
for hiking or mountain biking.
