[pct-l] looking to buy gps with waypoints

[Paul Robison]

If yu load the poi's first,  then go to basecamp It'll ask 'do you want to load maps along your poi's?'. 

That is like 625 Meg only,  but I expanded the range in case I got lost/ hurt etc to help in finding roads ... As well as for all near town I loaded the street maps...  All in all with halfmiles points it's like 1.2 gig
