Diane, I wouldn't try to learn all the functions. That's like learning all the features of Microsoft Word. It would take you 10,000 years. But the waypoint feature is a gem for plant people. I carry a GPS and a little pocket digital voice recorder. Each time I save a waypoint, I tell the voice recorder the number and what is at that location. It is incredibly easy. You can do it while you're toodling down the forest service roads at 10MPH. This is what it looks like on the computer: http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee69/…
