I have a GPSmap76CS  and while it is a good unit it can't do this nor can any 
standalone GPS  unit.

Obviously, this is a Commie plot to deprive me of my rightfully fun things  
to do on the trail.  And technology has failed me again.  I guess I  will have 
to look at the Pocket-PC/GPS.  It is my right to have a  small 7 inch square 
screen that I can use as a cell phone, GPS, the PCTA  map program, 
FM/AM/MP3/shortwave, and Sunday - Monday Night Football  viewing in camp with my Jippy-Pop 
popcorn and cold drink.  All this in my  tent/tarp while it is storming 
outside.  I will be in my new Nunatak  custom 800+ down sweater (probably will be 
done in December - it is in  cutting now) to be nice and warm.
 
By the way, the new Nunatak down sweater with hood is modified to parka  long 
in length, full zipper in front, and front pockets.  It is really a  cross 
between a down sweater and a down jacket.  I am having it made  with Epic fabric 
for the outer shell (black color) and a .85 oz. sq. yd.  fabric in blue for 
the inside.  Should be just what I have needed for  years and weigh in at under 
one pound.  I cannot wait to get it  and hit the trail.
 
Also, if you want a down sweater in 1000 Elder down, it will only cost you  
about $1000.  A sleeping bag about $2000.  But you will be the only  one on 
your block to have one, I bet.
 
Thanks for the info.
