rechareable batteries last around 8-10 hours.
I purchased a copy of Garmin's Mapsource for
Europe which enables you to load maps from a Pc
onto the Etrex and these maps include canals. I
bought both on Ebay several years ago and the only
change I'd make if I was buying again would be
to get a model with more memory so it would hold
a larger set of maps.
I find it very useful for navigating to and around
towns/villages around the canal as well as using it
as a speedometer and trip log. A fascinating feature
is the ability to download trip logs to your PC
and display them on Google Earth.
