I have an etrex and am convinced it reads around 5-7mph slower than you are going when you get up to the 60-75mph range.

I have access to a Magellan 310. I'll compare both while I'm driving to work tomorrow going above 70mph. Will post findings...

My GPS unit has the speed-lockout feature that shuts it down automatically at 500 mph (to keep if from falling in the hands of a terrorist to be used on a missle). Needless to say, I've yet been able to get an acurate top speed reading

KyRaptor,

Check your email.. Tomorrow will be good for me.
If you e-mail a phone number, we can make final arrangements over the phone.

I might have another rider ot two possibly show up. Bring a riding buddy if you want and they are responsible.

I called about 10 office depots in the central part of the country a few weeks ago trying to find a GPS3 for the $99. That is the correct price like you said but I was way to late for the sale. They checked stores close to them and then the distribution center and no one had them. Someone on the rec.sport.jetski newsgroup bought 25 I think and sold them to people for just a little bit more for shipping. They are gone too though. I'm just trying to save someone the time of calling all of those O Depots.
