Is there a nuvi that has user profiles, ie one can save
several settings (map display, navigation etc) and quickly select
between saved settings?

I use my 36-T for geocaching, and driving, and I always need ca 30
keypresses to switch maps from 3D to track up, navigation from faster to
off-road etc.

It would be really nice to have a quick selection to switch between
saved profiles in such a unit.

Ruggedness (like the 550) would also be nice..

I would have thought it best to use the Nuvi for driving, which is what it's
designed for, and get a rugged handheld for the geocaching.

I like the accuracy, map-display etc of the nuvi, along with its
paperless caching ability (using the correct GSAK macro).
It's only the switching back/forth that makes it a bit annoying

BTW - what is a Garmin "36-T" ?
