Well I am ready to look for a replacement GPS for my Garmin 12. The one
feature I will not do without is the time/date stamping of Waypoints. Is
there a list somewhere of GPS models that have this feature?

Don't they all do this by default?
Of course you can replace that stamp with your own comment.

From my own experience the original Vista did not time stamp waypoints, but
the 60 and 76 series do. I woud guess that all of the Garmin units that
have come out in the last couple of years do.

They may have skipped that feature in some of the etrex series.
I've only had a 45xl, 12xl, and now a 76cs that all time/date stamp.

That's interesting. Strange they would have left it out on some models. It
would have been very useful and shouldn't have been hard to implement,
especially since they had already implemented it in earlier models. I just
fired up my old Vista, and there wasn't even a comment field in the
waypoint window. I remember that now -- I used to try to cram useful
information into the waypoint name! Now I wonder if they have it in the
Vista C.
