Funny how everyone has a different answer for ya. I have had good luck with the Nikon Coolpic cameras. Mine is 10 mpix, has movie mode. I have dropped mine many times but it keeps on working. I guess the worst thing I did to it was spill coke on it while mixing a finish lap bottle for a Nordic ski race. It made the lense too sticky to move in and out. Figured it was done for so I got it warm, washed it with soapy water (made a mess) and I am still using it today. I also like the software that comes with the Nikon. Easier to use than some of the other brands.

Just make sure that you "don't" buy a rechargable camera.  Just keep some extra batteries. Get a good case, obviously. My case fits on my camelback sternum strap pretty nice for quick draw shots. I also like having a viewfinder to look through. It is hard to look at the digital screen when it is really bright outside. I have also noticed many new compact cameras make it really hard to turn on/off the flash. This is a pain because sometimes you need to flash even when it is daylight or you will have a shadow instead of a person... Good luck

I have a Garmin 60cx. It was a gift that I never really used because I have always found my way home. I have only used it to show a plot and distance of a new trail I'm scouting out... I'm sure alot of you have been through the same situation.

However, I have been reading about several folks who like the insurance and reassurance of being able to look down at the GPS and know they are still on course while riding the Tour Divide. I think that having something that can take the "worry factor" away is a good thing. I have ridden enough of it to know that some intercetions are not very clear...

I want to set up my 60cx for the Divide route.  Can anyone get me on course by pointing me to the right download... keeping in mind that I'm pretty much a dumb ass when using my GPS. haha Thanks

Hello All
Does a SPOT of GPS interfere with the signal of a wireless computer. Also wondering about reliable units for the Divide. I've had some in the past that were pretty weak but haven't even used one in several years. Thoughts?
