60c/60cs Down And Dirty, How Does Everybody Feel?
EtrexRose replied to Team Geo-Joes's topic in GPS technology and devices
If you want the track log to fill up much much slower, change the elevation setting: I think its either variable or whatever elevation. One records all the elevation tracklog data and information and uses the tracklog memory which fills that up faster. Anyways, just saying you can mess wit it. -
60c/60cs Down And Dirty, How Does Everybody Feel?
EtrexRose replied to Team Geo-Joes's topic in GPS technology and devices
Why not use CitySelect for just the large cities and then a different mapset for everything else. From what I have seen CitySelect eats up about 3x the memory as Topo and Roads and Recreation. And to answer this question, that would be fine, except with metroguide, topo and all others besides city select, you dont have autorouting... -
60c/60cs Down And Dirty, How Does Everybody Feel?
EtrexRose replied to Team Geo-Joes's topic in GPS technology and devices
The unit lags when typing in stuff because its working so far to show what it has found from what you have typed in so far. The memory is sufficient for me because I live in the northwest, not to dense. It tops all other consumer units. -

60cs Verses The 76cs
EtrexRose replied to john_underwood@charter.net's topic in GPS technology and devices
So basically, if it fits your needs, buy it, if you don't need the extra memory and/or don't like the shape and feel of the unit. We all have different opinions, no need to go on and on. -
Anyways, pretty neat how much they can pack into those babies, maybe in the future that stuff will be standard in watches across the world.

Uh, its outdated...
-
Well, if thats how it came brand new, and its like that on all of them, then I guess it is waterproof, I have held mine under water in a river for a minutes and it still works fine.

60c Basemap..why So Little??
EtrexRose replied to wickedsprint's topic in GPS technology and devices
Because they are assuming you will buy the City Select to use the awesome autorouting. Dont hate the player, play the hater. -
Which Software Is Better?
EtrexRose replied to Frank@FloridaJeepers?net's topic in GPS technology and devices
I guess another thing thats good about Magellan's TOPO is that they have the actual street names. -

Dug Out My Old Garmin Gps Iii - Circle In Map View
EtrexRose replied to scooter!'s topic in GPS technology and devices
yup, yet I find the ETE display on the satelite page to be a much smaller number, compared to if you actually guessed the radius of the cirlce drawn around your location on the map. Wierd eh? -
How Many Gpsr Units Do You Have?

.I'll refrain from posting. Its been asked before eh -
New Garmin 60cs Is Here.....
EtrexRose replied to Desert_Warrior's topic in GPS technology and devices
yeah... not seeing the point. -
If you only use your gps for geocaching, the basemap will not help.
-
Garmin 60c is 10 times better then a PPC/BT combination such as the HP2210/Holux w/ waas BT gps setup I used to have. If you really need reasons why let me know, but the 60cs tops it, even the auto routing is much better then ANY you could get for a PPC. k?
-
I like how it looks with 3.20. Less lines sticking out at you blocking other stuff. But I can see why many would be unhappy, i'll go either way.

External Antenna Necessary For 60c?
EtrexRose replied to wtex55's topic in GPS technology and devices
I think you can make the cable length choice by yourself. -
Anybody Ever Made A Hat Mount For A Small Gps?
EtrexRose replied to GOT GPS?'s topic in GPS technology and devices
Tape. -
It just happens, if you have poor reception - then your gpsR may think your moving around, other times it correctly shows you didn't move. But regardless, your Unit is fine, no problems, or anything out of the ordinary.
-
Both are equal in the ability to get you to the geocache. It comes down to which one feels better in your hand, if were strictly speaking geocaching, however I suppose the 60c could also navigate you near the geocache .

Differences In Map Sizes - Both With Cityselect V5
EtrexRose replied to aciurczak's topic in GPS technology and devices
That is intersting, but I am sure their is a logical explanation... -
60cs Uses Much More Tracks Points
EtrexRose replied to capt caper's topic in GPS technology and devices
Well I just got back from a 25 mile 3 day backpacking trip, and it barely got up to 45% at most often. I was not using Variable Elevation with my CS, only fixed. I suppose with Variable on it would have been a much higher %. -
Thanks, I guess that answers everything.
