If you are gonna eat Crow, at least kill it humanely first.
1. If this is a troll of yours, than forget the above. Just designate it as such and I will eat my crow. I've been on the 'net since '94 and know how even the most ardent 'net heads can sometimes fall prey to the most basic of fiascoes after a bit.

I use them in mine, and its been great.

Does this mean they don't recommend using rechargable NIMH batteries? I want to use them because this thing sucks batteries down. I'm on my third set already and I just bought it yesterday. I'm getting more like 5-7 hours out of them, but my digital camera is the same, with normal akalines it doesn't last very long. Now when I use my NIMH in the camera it lasts about 4 times as long!! So I'm hoping for the same response from the sportrak pro.

Nowadays I think its good to be a NERD, we are in demand.

My wife stills says to me, "You're such a nerd!" Am I? Are we? I mean, what the heck are we actually doing anyways?
I suppose the nerd stigma will slowly dissipate as the sport grows in popularity. Time will tell.

Which camera do you have? Its a pretty standard feature to change the quality of which photos are taken.

Better get a lanyard before you break it or lose it.

I can't beleve some of the stuff you can get for a buck. Lots of great items, mixed in with alot of crap. Basically, something for everyone.

I guess it all depends on location. The Future Shop and Best Buy I was talking about are both in Leaside.
-
Since we are talking about the Sportrak, I just bought a Leather cell phone case that fits it almost perfectly. Its for a Nokia 918. It was only $4.99 at Future Shop here in Toronto.
BTW, they have the Sportrak map on sale for $299, which is good since Best Buy is currently selling it for $349.

I have this one:

I would like your opinions on the two following compasses and which one is better. I know they aren't as good as the real fancy ones but I'm just kind of getting started with all the compass work.

This datasheet might help....

I know all about that "got to have it now" feeling.
Hey, if you do spend the money on the Mapsend, I would sure like to get some feedback on what you think of it. Especially since we are in the same city.
Thanks,
Liberto.

Gonefish'n on Vancouver Island for one sells them for that and will sell it with the Mapsend Canada CD for $399. The Sportrak is listed in the gpscentral web catalog for $294.95. They out of Alberta which means you can avoid P.S.T
.
Try to support your local business's first. See if they'll match prices or at least come close.
Cool! Only thing is that Shipping cost... AND my "I HAVE TO HAVE IT NOW!!!!" problem :-) I'll perhaps check them out for the Mapsend CD though.
Thanks all!

Sorry to repeat what res2100 said.
I started to type the post before lunch, and then only submitted the reply when I got back.

I have found that GPSCentral has the best prices for GPSes and accessories. Before buying mine, I shopped around at the various stores locally, but they were all overpriced and Best Buy would NOT match what I could get it for at GPSCentral.

...hope this helps.

I bought mine at Future Shop just after Christmas. It was on sale for $289.99 down from $329.00.
Also, if you buy it online from Http://www.gpscentral.ca they have it for $294.00 and they will only charge you the GST. Of course there is $7 shipping, but there is still some savings.

I agree. Without permission it is nothing more then graffiti.
Anyone who is not a Geocacher would see it as graffiti.

You can also go back into the original post and make changes. I have done that before.

I was going to be a smart *** about the "Wife won't let me" part. But my wife will kill me is she saw it.

I think most newbies are so excited to have a new GPS and wanting to go on their first find that they are unprepared. When I did my first, I didn't bring anything but my GPS.

If its indoors, chances are the GPSr will not work.

I have not tried it myself, but I would make sure the batteries in the unit are not just about to die. I think it will lead to problems if the battery dies and the update was not complete.

Has anyhad had issues when upgrading the SporTrak Map to v4.02? I have read that if you don't follow the directions you can corrupt the flash in the unit. I just want to know if there were any traps I need to watch out for.If you shoot for the moon and only get half way, think about how far you've gone.

Which unit do you have? You might not even have that feature.

I read thru the posts and one states "... disable your WAAS if you ever want to locate this one..." I don't even know what my WAAS is much less how to disable it! Could some wise seeker out there tutor me on this? Thanks ya'll... Thump
