+The Mars Bars Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I better start saving up! Sounds great. I have a GPSmap 60cs already and a small bluetooth GPSr with a SIRF III chipset. Whilst I can't fault the build quality and features of the GPS60cs, its lock onto the satellites under tree cover is quite appalling for such a top line unit. Meanwhile the GPSr unit with the SIRF III chipset maintains a lock inside buildings, in the glove box of my car (no not at the same time...but thinking about it, it might well). The ability to store even more map data on a mini SD card would also be great. Quote Link to comment
+walkergeoff and wife Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 (edited) Their spec listing ends with this: 'You won’t miss a thing when you take this rugged, lightweight, easy-to-use handheld out hiking, biking, boating or even geocaching.' "Even geocaching"?? I don't know whether to be pleased it got a mention, or upset at the way it was mentioned. Edited January 4, 2006 by walkergeoff Quote Link to comment

Garmin8888 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 One wonders if one can send present unit back to Garmin to have the new chip fitted....? Quote Link to comment
gekocacher Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 No returns I'm afraid, has the new Sirf Chipset for more accurate locationing in weak signal areas. Quote Link to comment
