+Miragee Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 On a mechanical postal scale, my Garmin Vista C weighs just over 5 oz. with NiMH batteries, and with the auto-mount back on it, which might weigh more than the regular battery cover. Quote Link to comment

+SunnyWalker Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 How about a Merigold? How much do they weigh???????!?!?!? Thanks. SunnyWalker Quote Link to comment
+Woodbutcher68 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 (edited) My kitchen scale shows my MeriPlat at 8oz. Not sure how accurate it is though or if Platinum is heavier than Gold. Edited March 14, 2006 by Woodbutcher68 Quote Link to comment
+gpsblake Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 The lightest unit on the market is the Geko and uses AAA batteries. But you can't upload/download data with the Geko series. That's too bad. From manufacter websites and other 3rd party sites Garmin Geko is 3.4 ounces with batteries. By far the lightest unit. Yellow Etrex is 5.3 ounces with batteries Lowrance Ifinder GO2 is 5.36 ounces with batteries. Explorist series is 5.4 ounces with batteries except the XL unit Legend-C is 5.4 ounces with batteries. Garmin 60 series is 7.5 ounces with batteries. Garmin 76 series around 7.6 ounces with batteries. Meridian series weighs in at over 8 ounces with batteries. Quote Link to comment

It fits easily in my jacket pocket or hangs well from a lanyard. The screen is large and easy to read. The rechargable battery will last 12 hours and recharges from the accessory plug in the car. It can load 3,000 waypoints (everything within about 6 hours drive.) I can use an external antenna strapped to the shoulder strap of my day pack. The autorouting (with voice prompts) is useful to get to the parking. As an added bonus the unit is an XM satellite radio receiver and will display XM live weather (thunderstorms etc.) Edited March 14, 2006 by Maxima Quote Link to comment
+fireman121 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I believe that my Garmin GPS 72 should weigh about the same as the 76 models. Quote Link to comment

+SunnyWalker Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Wheeeeeeee! That Gecko is the lighty. Too bad these companies don't go on a "who can make the lightest GPS with expandable memory" kick. - SunnyWalker Quote Link to comment
