anybody here used a toughbook cf-29 with built in gps. I just sold my cf-27 to buy a cf-29 without built in gps and was wondering if it worked well enuff to upgrade mine.

sold it

My wife is making me clean my computer room out and looks like I will have a Panasonic CF-25 for sale. If anyone is interested e-mail me

Mobipocket PC lets You read pocket Queries on your pc. I use it on my laptop with mapping also and it's real useful out on a cache hunt. Plus it is free.

I like the setup pretty good quote:Originally posted by Overland1: quote:Originally posted by Terrahunt:I have a Garmin Venture and all I had to do was hook up the cable that comes with it.

I have the cables for that setup but have not yet tried that with my TP-760ED (that display is excellent!)... been using the TP with Street Atlas or Map 'n' Go and the TripMate receiver in the Jeeps with very good results for several years. I guess the Vista would be a better receiver and can be used with those DeLorme programs as well. Now I have to go out and try it . _I Roger your vector, Victor...... Over._

I have a Garmin Venture and all I had to do was hook up the cable that comes with it. I use an old IBM 760el with Delorme Topo USA 3.0. Most people dont like the delorme but Ive used it for my work as a directional driller and it works great. I can download the waypoints to the program as a draw file and use real time tracking to get me to the cache where i then use my Garmin out of the Jeep. By the Way I used to use the street type maps but they had a tendency to be vague off the main roads.

Thanks a lot that worked. I didn't think about that but the last time i downloade was on IE now i'm on 8. Thanks again

well I haven't figured it out yet guess I'll enter them manually

I have and still no go. Its almost like my browser is not configured correctly but I've checked it twice and its ok. Is anyone else having this prob?

I've been away for awhile and haven't got to cache. But when i when I went to download waypoints Yesterday they wont download and when i do get something to download the file is empty or easy gps does not recognize the format. Has the procedure changed or what? Any help would be appreciated.

Hey fyi I'm new to this game and really enjoying it. Only problem is there are no caches within a 20 mile radius of my home coordinates. So myself and my other half are putting together a cache in this area. Hopefully y'all will enjoy it. I know I have fun doing this because I work out of state and it is more fun than the usual entertainment(Wal-marting and such) After this weekend she is hooked as much as me.
