Since both G III+ and G V are available, but unfortunately not at the same price, i wanted to know if all data that I downloaded to my PC is direct recoverable by the GPS V. As I�m in Argentina, and the Map Source information is not soo rich for this region: think you that the new "Find" features would be useful in this case? Thank you   Axel Haakonsen (Axel) Moderator Username: Axel Post Number: 38 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, February 20, 2003 - 12:13 pm:    I would be very surprised if the GPS V can't read GPS III+ data. The data format is not that complex anyway, the route and waypoint files are just simple delimited text files.

The V uses the same software and firmware but just has more memory for data storage so I would bet that it will.   Germ�n R.

I�m afraid that without map info the better features are lost...
