[pct-l] Garmin e Trex Summit HC GPS

[Tortoise]

This seems like a good price and a reasonable unit. 2 limitations -- lacks 
a slot for a microSD™ card (not included) and cannot add POI's (points of 
interest) which limits your ability to load in useful data such as hiker 
hostels, trail parking areas, trail-angels homes, etc. But seems like a 
good price if you either have access to a computer to reload waypoints, 
etcetera or are doing a few sections at a time. I think the ability to load 
maps is way overrated given the small screen size. My 2¢. Others will differ.
