I've used it, as well. Personally I found it a bit of a pain to set up, and
you have to have sighted assistance to cut the state maps down to a
manageable size. I'm kind of wishing now that I hadn't spent the money and
had gone for a self contained GPS. It's neat once you get it working, but
when the pacmate resets then it's a pain.

Butch I have been thinking about getting the gps for my pac mate so far what

do you think about it and how hard was it to get set up the first time?  Is 
it any easier the second time around?  I have a few more questions about but

I will stop with these.

What is this Garmin 18.  I run window-eyes, so hope it would work with
that as well.  Not real impressed with this paxcmate.  Darn thing locked
up on me yesterday.  I had do a total reset to get it to respond and
lost several hours of work trying to set things up on it.
THanks.
