+S&G.Davison Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Can any one hear past the SHOUTING ? Just going to Garmins Website and doing a product compare Vista C Memory 24 MB Vista Cx Removable microSD data card (64 MB included) Quote
+CACHE KRAWLER Posted June 29, 2006 Author Posted June 29, 2006 Can any one hear past the SHOUTING ? Just going to Garmins Website and doing a product compare Vista C Memory 24 MB Vista Cx Removable microSD data card (64 MB included) I was just told by a friend that using all capitals in the computer world is like "SHOUTING". Sorry, didn't know that. That's how I write, with all caps., so for some reason I do it when I type as well, again, sorry not a techno nerd. Just going to Garmins Website and doing a product compare Vista C Memory 24 MB Vista Cx Removable microSD data card (64 MB included) Just because a wonder drug says that you will lose 50lbs. a week doesn't actually mean that you will. I was looking for actual results from Geocachers who have actually used these products, and felt one way or another about them. I don't trust what Garmin says and neither should you if you've done your share of reading in these forums. Hands on expierence is what I'm looking for, tracking me? Quote
+Miragee Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 I have the Vista C. For the area I cache in, the 24 MB is all I need. I have both the City Select and Topo maps loaded. On a recent road trip, I took my laptop with me, and, since that unit has a USB connection, I could change out the mapset quickly. Likewise I could change the caches as I traveled. The 500-waypoint limit is probably the only thing I would change, if I could. Since the 'x' units came out, you might get a good deal on a new Vista C on eBay, but I don't think any online merchants are still offering that model. If you travel a lot, getting the 'x' model is what you should do. Or, if you want 1000 waypoints, you might look at the GPSMap60C(S)x which also has the new chip for superb reception. Quote
+IVxIV Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Doesn't the Vista Cx also use the Sirf III chip? Quote
+hogrod Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Doesn't the Vista Cx also use the Sirf III chip? nope, only the 60/76x models. Quote
+ejnewman Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 I think in Garmin's secret model code, the "x" means expandable memory. There may be other differences, but that is the main one. Quote
