Thanks for the replies everyone. I have more questions! I'm still looking
at the sportrack pro. Since it is WAAS and you can turn off WAAS, is there
a time when it is better to disable WAAS from the unit? I still don't fully
understand what WAAS is, compared to the other way the signal is sent which
I don't even know the name of it. I'm new to this but still am reading
material. Or should I consider the sportrack color? I will be using it in
the mountains of California for hiking and on logging roads with my ATV.
Which it needs to be waterproof from outside moisture, like light rain and
fog.

Thanks everyone for your advive
