+entropysedge Posted June 25, 2005 Posted June 25, 2005 naming my gps was not something that ever crossed my mind; I've named my car and motorcycle but the gps? The Quest is called quest and the etrex Legend is just the other one..... hhhmmmm, maybe it would be easier to just give them names..... Quote
DocJ Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 I had a cat for a couple years that I never named... So, no I didn't name my GPS. Quote
+Team Cotati Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Johnson, Big Johnson............ Beautiful. Quote
+slapshot52 Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 It only gets a name when the accuracy is bouncing around between 126 feet and 12 feet in the middle of a field of rocks! If I repeated the names it gets called when it does this, I would probably get banned from this forum! Quote
leafdolfan Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Ya, my gps is usually called smething, ahh different Quote
TookDadAlong Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 "Herman" ...oh wait, you said my GPS unit. No it doesn't have a name. My dsughter wants to call it the monitor and I tend to correct her to call it a receiver. As for the meaning of Herman, you'd have to ask my sisters! Quote
TookDadAlong Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 ...hadn't thought of it before, but "23 Feet Off" might be a good name! Quote
+Menehune Man Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Mine is a Garmin Etrex Legend and the day I bought it I named it "Blue" Quote
+Iceburger Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 We call the etrex "old yeller" and the new 60cs has been named "Jeffery" for some odd reason... It has stuck. Quote
+Adrenalynn Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 My trusty old eMap is "TruBlu" 'cause it's blue - and never wrong - duh! Quote
+The GeoGadgets Team Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 "Herman" ...oh wait, you said my GPS unit. <snip> As for the meaning of Herman, you'd have to ask my sisters! Okay, now you're just being yucky. Quote
+ganlet Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Ive never thought of naming my gps units, although after this thread i kinda want to. my geocaching friend says my explorist 210 is my baby (not sure i like that. i'll have to give it a proper name sometime. as for all you people who seem to call them something less than postive when they loses signal i tend to strongly disagree. i feel if there is any time to be sucking up that would be the time.

+headybrew Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Logan after "Logans Run" Cool. How about "Box"? (also after logan's run) Quote
+Wild Thing 73 Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) Guppus. How else would you pronounce GPS? How about jeepus...the word JEEP was derived from GP ("General Purpose" vehicle) You know? I never did like GPSr, very hard to say...I think I will name my GPS unit...Jeepus:) Edited April 19, 2006 by Wild Thing 73 Quote
+geos of the jungle Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 We dubbed our GpsMap 60cs "Bilbo" after Tolkien's adventurous Hobbit. Quote
+Airmapper Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 Ummmm.... AirMap, it's written in blue letters above the screen. Quote
+S B T Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) I named mine after my boss. It is always trying to tell me whereI can go and it is constantly changing its position on things. LOL! That's a good one. No official name for mine, unless you count "What's wrong with you, you POS?!" as a name. Edited April 20, 2006 by sabrinatom Quote
+montgomery4 Posted April 20, 2006 Posted April 20, 2006 Mine is usually "No-good friggin' piece of @$#&"... Thats the same thing I call mine!!! Quote
