Solar charging means internal battery and that is unfortunately a no go feature.
I would like a map eTrex with a monochrome display.

Re: eTrex Solar Announced
For those who suffer with 'internal battery lifespan anxiety', here are some simple numbers to help alleviate some of your worries:
A device that can run for 200 hours on a full battery charge, when used for a full 8 hours every single day, would require more than 34 years to reach 500 battery charge cycles, or 68 years to reach 1000 battery charge cycles.
