Mike I don't get the gist of this statement/question.

On completion of trip I can dowload from GPS to either CE and/ or Notebook. Where is the problem?
Yes, that is correct, but with OziCE there is no limit on the Waypoints in the Route like there is on the desktop version.
Yes, you can use the maps on CE that you use on the notebook, but you need to use the Img2OZF free conversion utility on the OziExplorer website to convert the images for CE use. This gives you substantial advantages over the format you use on the desktop, and you can use the OZF format on your desktop as
well, but PNG should be your first choice. With the OZF format, you get 10% zoom steps which is great. You can have massive files on OziCE as the OZF format is based on PNG and only holds in memory what is displayed on the screen. This format pages the memory that quickly, you would not know it is happening. The speed is nothing short of incredible. This is why you can smooth one second updates.
Janset, I always use the genuine Compaq iPaq cables as they are cheap and then cut and marry a non-genuine Garmin plug on the end. I have seen to many failures with non-genuine iPaq cables. The plugs they fit are really cheap and nasty.
Presently I use a Garmin eMap and a Magellan SporTrak Pro. I only ever connect the Garmin eMap to the WinCE unit, as it is better suited to the freeware G7toCE I use to manipulate and change navigational data. I am also not fussed on the connection setup required for Magellan. However, the SporTrak range is the first really great receiver Magellan has brought out. Pity the price in Australia is so damned ridiculous.
