The Sony Pyxis (sp?) was considered to be a relative dog, compared with
most of the other units.  A generation or 2 behind, and sensitivity
to match.

Motorola, Trimble, Magellan (I think) all have units that sell for $500.00
and perform (I am told) better.  On the west coast, West Marine are
down to this price, and it's falling.  Check around.

Cheers / Mark
(I haven't yet bought one, but it's gettin' closer....)
