Has Magellan got a GPS that has the same features as the FX 324. If not what is available in other brands that do the same job.

Thanks Kyle

Garmin make a great one 3110 (I think) models are pretty good,I dont think its made anymore though.

Looks nice. But really needs a number pad. Makes inputting of waypoints much easier and faster.

Yeah I know what you mean.

I have a fx324 and at our 2nd event imputted a few minutes quicker than those with garmins.

There are a few garmins that you can buy remote keypads for when I was looking a while back.
