For Sale: Vista C With City Navigator Europe V7...


Recommended Posts

The unit is the hi-res colour screen job with compass, barometer and 24mb of internal memory. The internal memory can hold about 1/4 or the UK at a time.

 

You all probably know about it already but for the full SP, go here:

 

Garmin Etrex Vista C...

 

The unique feature of this sale is the inclususion of Garmin City Navigator Europe V7. This covers the whole of Europe (naturally) and provides full autorouting down to street level with turn-by-turn directions with sound prompts at juctions on the Vista C. The software is unlocked to this specific Vista C through its serial number.

 

Note: the second "unlock" was used to enable this software to work with this Vista C - it cannot be used with any other Garmin unit.

This software is not available for standalone sale in this country, it is normally only available packaged with Garmin's high end hardware (this originally came with our Streetpilot 2610). You could buy it from the US but it is very, very expensive.

 

Formal ownership of the software and GPS unit will be transfered to the new owner via Garmin UK.

 

We would prefer this package to go to a good home with member of the UK site. They would appreciate it and get best use from it. If you would like more detail, contact me for a data sheet we've knock up or post questions on this thread.

 

The Vista C is in pristine condition. We are looking for offers in excess of £200 (this is all inclusive with next day Special Delivery). It is an "Atlantic" model with the European base map - not that you'll use it with CN7 available! All manuals and PC lead included.

 

Please PM your offers to me through the site, best offer received by 2200 Fri 7 Apr 06 takes the bundle.

Oooh! We'd love to assist but the reason this kit is for sale along with the excellent City Navigator Europe V7 is that we've bought a Vista Cx and have upgraded to CN8.

 

Both bits are very expensive and we have a large impending hole in the credit card account looming. The monies from selling off the Vista C with CN 7 will go some way to filling the deficit.

 

Thanks for responding though, we thought there would be loads of questions particularly about the software since this sort of opportunity is so rare - certainly we have never seen this combination up for grabs before.

 

This situation has only come about because we originally owned a Streetpilot 3 with CN 5. When the Vista C came out and Garmin stated it would auto-route with City Select or Navigator, we decided to get a Vista C for using on our bikes and geocaching instead of the B&W Vista we used then.

 

Later we sold off the SP 3 with its CN software and bought a SP 2610 with CN7. This software was unlocked for the Vista C as well as the SP 2610 - this is the combo up for sale.

 

As Garmin issue 2 new unlocks at each software upgrade, when V8 came out, we decided to "upgrade" the Vista...

 

...so that how this Vista C and a fully working, street-legal version of CN7 Europe are available.

I'll bite... what sort of ball park figure are you thinking of? If you are shy, look at Ebay closed auctions to see what the going price is.

 

We're not at all shy, we did mention the sum of £200 in the OP as an all-in price for the Vista C and City Navigator V7 software.

 

The Vista C has a mini USB lead to connect it to the PC to transfer data at high speed, changing the maps is a very quick job. We're including a car power supply that uses the same USB lead to power the Vista so that the backlight can be left permanently on when night driving.

 

We use a normal phone holder to mount the GPS when we're using it for autorouting in the car. We often go out with just the Vista C when caching in the local area. We live near Norwich so currently, the Vista C is loaded with this area:

...so the Vista C can provide full autorouting in the whole of the red area. If you look closely at the top LH corner, you will see this is screenshot from CN7.

 

...hope this helps.
