Garmin 12 is fine. Saw a local ad yesterday: $140. Yes the software can be
purchased later. The 12 will not have built-in maps nor provision for
external antennae. With appropriate software you can upload tracks, routes,
and waypoints.

> Can I do odometer/speedometer type stuff with the cheaper Gamin (the under
$200 one)?  I'm not really interested in marking trails, or making maps,
just in telling how far I've come and how fast I got there.  Even the
speedometer part isn't all that important.  A watch could tell me that if
only I knew how far I was going...

do the maping with, or would I need to start with the more expensive unit?
I really don't need topography stuff.  My part of Texas is flat, the
roadside ditches are the only changes in elevation.
