+GPSlug Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 (edited) Before last month I had a Garmin Legend. But that was stolen when I was in Brussels, along with my laptop, phone (useless there), and digital camera (old and with a broken battery latch). The rest of my briefcase with my passport was found and turned into the consulate (a handy 10 minute walk from my hotel) so it only took two extra days and $1000 extra airfare for me to get home. Since then I've been using a Magellan GPSCompanion for Palm m500 series. I won it at the ION GPS conference 4 years ago but I never had a Palm m500 to connect it to. I kept it in it's box thinking about selling it or buying a Palm m500 on eBay, but never acted on it. But with the impetus of being without my Legend and thanks to a helpful website. I had a guy at work solder up the serial cable (the pins were way too small for the meager skills of this software guy) and I attached it to adapter I had the foresight to buy for my Dell Axim x51 and using assorted third-party software. It's clumsy with the the cable and the two separate components and it's rather fragile, but I'm able to get by with it until I decide what replacement handheld I should get. Edit: BTW, since I was travelling on business, the company I work for is being kind enough to replace the lapto and phone since I was using them for work. Also, of course, the extra travel expenses.

+aviatrix22 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 (edited) I started caching last summer and got a Garmin Geko 201 online for a great price. I saw an ad in here about someone selling 25 of these for about $125 I thought, what the heck? I can't believe how many units some of you have!! It is the only thing that I have used to cache with, so I have nothing to compare it to. I haven't ever met anyone else that has one, but I see a few people on your list have them. I like that it is so small. It also runs on 2 AAA batteries, and most other ones I have seen use AA batteries. Edited March 18, 2006 by aviatrix22 Quote Link to comment
