Newbie with 3 Main problems
OSUFanInJapan replied to OSUFanInJapan's topic in GPS technology and devices
Well, I just got a Garmin Etrex (basic model) I guess there is no real need for a mapping one at this point and no need to worry about Macbook Compatibility. I hope it works for my needs and once I get more comfortable with it all and gain some knowledge, I move on to a mapping device. -
Hi all, I have a question that may sound a but stupid, but after looking thru the forum and a bit online I am still not sure I have the right info. First, Do most GPS units work overseas (especially Asia)? I have seen things advertised for Waas or something like that and one for Europe and one for Asia. Wont they all wok as long as they pick up the sats? A bit about me, I am from the US but currently live in and work in Japan (so thats why I would like to have a GPS that works in both places) I own a Mac (so is there any GPS units that work with Macs)? Thanks For any help and info!!!

Hi all, First off I am new to caching and thanks to my brother I am wanting to get started and enjoying it as soon as possible. There are some problems tho that I am facing. 1. I live in Japan 2. I own a Macbook 3. No GPS Unit yet My questions are these. Since I live in Japan its virtually impossible to find a GPS that is set up in English. They do have the main brands here (just have to hunt for them and they are double what they are back stateside) Does anyone know if most units have multi language capability? Like switching Japanese to English etc? This might also be part of my 3rd problem. Any ideas on where to get GPS units in Japan? My next problem is that I own a macbook laptop and I have read that most GPS units are not Mac compatiable yet. Is this true? Any ideas on which units might be or are compatible? Thanks for the help and any info!!!
