I am very impressed so far!

I have the GPS mounted to my REV's handlebars with the RAM U-Bolt mount (expensive, but worth every penny). It's powered by a CycoActive vibration hardened cigarette adapter.

I had no problems with the Vista maintaining a satellite lock through regional forests, etc. I was able to create a 140 mile long track today and load it on the PC for printing.

I will make these tracks available for anybody interested (they're from the snowmobile club in Barrie, Ontario to Penetang to Midland to Coldwater to Orillia and back).

I have used an etrex vista on my handlebar for 1500miles this year and have had no reception problems, even in some pretty heavey LES. Have you noticed the difference in the way degrees are divided on mapscource vs. on the vista itself?

If you are referring to the position format you can change it on your Vista under Setup...Units Page and in Mapsource under Edit...Preferences...Position.
