I have been able to find some pretty good deals for some units on ebay. As with anything that you are thinking of buying on ebay, make sure that you know what you want and what it is worth. The excitement of the auction can lots of times lead people to pay more than that were planning on to get the item. Check out this search for the latest trimble mapping gps receivers that are waiting for you to bid on.

These guys are great, they are an authorized Trimble service center.

It is very useful to connect a recreational gps into gis software. You can use the DNR garmin application to transfer data to and from your Garmin GPS, and save it in a variety of formats. If you use ESRI ARCmap it is available for all three major versions. Even better it now works with google earth so that you do not need to have expensive GIS software to visualize your data. When I went to get this link for this post I saw that they have a new version out, so I am downloading it and will get back with some goodies that are in the new version that i have even tried yet( Yes sometimes I am a little behind the times).
