[Leica] GPS Units

[leica at screengang.com (Didier Ludwig)]

Synching a gps device to a computer becomes very useful when you want to 
plan a route, if for biking or hiking or whatever. The Garmin Colorado 300 I 
use shows me both the route I planned and the track I'm actually riding (and 
if I want, warns me if the track differs from). Saves you a LOT of time in 
the field.
