i have an etrex as well and like it (plus i use it when mountain biking on long complicated trails where i worry about getting lost).

a good radar gun would be more accurate though. my etrex just gives me a general idea.

I have been using my Garmin also...I just wanted to see what radar gun options were worht looking into.

Bushnell makes one that costs about $75...the specs say that it can clock softball size objects (within 100 feet) going up to 110mph.

The Bushnell works well. I have used mine for about 6 months and it works very well. We have radared everything from small rcs and boats to full size cars and trucks. Well worth the $75 dollars.
