Hmmm...I can't find my 3.10 version firmware anywhere. Why does Garmin not keep at least the prior version on the website! Uggggh...am I stuck at 3.20??

It's probably as simple as how fast you were driving. Odd's are you are not driving at the exact same speed as the other person the whole time. You accelerate, decelerate etc..with all kinds of variables. I wouldn't worry about it. Maybe next time you can hitch the two vehicles together and let the other person pull you along and see what happens

Hi all, Just curious if anyone else is having issues with their page button. All the buttons on my gps work on the first press except for the page button which is intermittent. Sometimes I have to hit it 2-3 times to get it to register. It's probably a bum contact and when it completely dies I'll ship it off to Garmin, but just wanted to know if anyone else is seeing this problem or other bad buttons.

Can you post a picture of this so called vent hole?

I understand that the original Legend and Vista are tried and true, while also being best sellers but they are old technology that shoud be retired/discontinued as well. Maybe they are keeping them from a consumer price point model, but I would like to see them go by the wayside as well. The are too many great improvements in the new models to keep them around.

Looks like their marketing department is as clueless as their tech support

That doesn't make sense, from what I understand the data card is a complete replacement for the software itself. Anyone else care to chime in?

That looks promising and better priced than Garmin! Thanks Doc

That's the rumor, but I have yet to see any definitive information.

You'll find that people here take offense to software piracy...just an FYI

Wow, that was quick He who hesitates is lost LOL!

Just for fun I was looking at the eXplorist 210 description on Magellan's website and noticed this one line at the bottom of the learn more section... "This is real GPS plus 22 MB available memory." as opposed to what, a fake gps

I might be interested in the Gecko 201 for my daughter. Do you have a price in mind? edit - nevermind...just noticed the price LOL

You can read more about the 60CSx here http://www.garmin.com/products/gpsmap60csx/ Specs show 18 hrs on 2 AA batteries, but your mileage will vary depending on your settings I own the 60CSx currently and can get pretty close to that runtime.

I'm really starting to like Waymarking and enjoy the ice cream category It's interesting to see what new categories get approved and pop up on a weekly basis.

Since the RAM mounts get such great reviews I'm surprised no one has already mentioned them. http://www.ram-mount.com/

The Amazon link says CN NT8, but the picuture shows 6. Also, they don't sell it directly and list one independent seller. I can't believe no other online vendors carry this

But do you use any maps such as Topo or City Navigator?? You're going to need windows for that

I buy all my units from gpsnow.com and have never had any problems and always great service. Amazon is a good deal as well when they offer the $30 off with a new credit card deal, but I hate plastic LOL update- i just noticed that gpsonsale.com has it for $369

The Garmin city maps are excellent although updated yearly the POI's are never current (some things that have existed for years still do not show up) but the road data is pretty accurate. I have never gotten lost yet The unit does not have voice prompting, only beeps and pointing arrows.

Hi all, Are there any online vendors that sell City Navigator NT8 North America instead of just City Navigator North America? I like th NT version better but can't find it anywhere except for Garmin

The etrex series requires the unit to be held flat with the antenna facing up for optimal reception. If you can afford it go for the 60Cx or 60CSx which has the SirfIII chip and then you can pretty much hold the gps in any position you like and you will still get great reception. FYI...for optimal reception the 60 series should have the antenna pointing up

I would not recommend the IQUE as it is definitely not designed for the outdoors and would surely become an expensive paperweight should you drop it or get it really wet. As for the Explorist 500 it's rechargeable battery is a definite no no for me. It's a nice unit but I like to be able to swap out a couples a AA's if needed. Having to constantly recharge stuff drives me crazy and this would limit you on extended trips in the woods. I have the 60CSx currently and have owned numerous other Garmins. The 60Csx cannot be beat for sensitivity and is just an all around excellent gps. I use it in the car as well for driving directions. Also, I have had only one minor issue with a previously owned Garmin gps and they took it back, fixed it and returned it to me within a week. Good luck with your purchase!

hmmmm, i guess i'll just have to buy it online for the cheapest i have seen for $110 plus shipping or take a major road trip
