I need info such as price, : power consumption, and size. YES, I own one, their the GPS engne in the Eagle AccuNav Sport and the Lowrance GlobalMap Sport. The Eagle is sold at Cabela's for $475, the Lowarnce unit will be available soon (might be available now), it'll be ~$250 more because it's got moving map capabilties. The size is ~7.75"Lx3.25"Wx1.75"D. A set of 6 AA alkaline batteries lasts ~8 hours innthe 5 second update mode (the most power conservative). I have written p a review of my Eagle, E-mail me if you'd like a copy. Hope this helps, Dave Fortner fortner@conan.ids.net
