I wish it would come down. Do you know when the next device is coming out, so they will drop the price on this one. I have been looking at this GPS for a while. I wish it would come down.

Anyone knows if Oregon 300 is able to do the same ? It looks like it shows an icon on the map when there is a geotagged picture.

My current Oregon may be gifted to one of the kids or put on ebay. I was initially somewhat indifferent to the camera, but I am warming up to the idea, not for serious photography, really, but for recording waypoints, unusual geographic features, etc. In rugged terrain, my "real" camera is usually put away in the backpack for safe keeping.
