Hi Kantonysen. I was trawling the site today and found your entry of a few months ago.
I also bought a Magellan 100 and am chuffed to bits with it.
I have found a couple of good web sites that I wouldn't be without. One is put out by the Tasmanian University and shows how to convert the Lats/Longs to map references,it's a great read[but heavy at times] The other is a Magellan PFD that gives out much more of its operation than the little booklet does. I've printed mine out and had it bound at Officeworks, it runs to about 30 pages.
Sites.
