+NickandAliandEliza Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Whilst in the Brecon Beacons yesterday I found what I think must be an early attempt at constructing a GPSr. I contacted the local museum but the bloke just laughed........ Quote Link to comment
+KiwiGary Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I bet it doesn't float... See ya...Gary Quote Link to comment
+rutson Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Float? Maybe not, but I bet the battery life is amazing Quote Link to comment
+stora Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I dare you to send it to garmin and tell them that you can't update the firmware. Quote Link to comment
+MREAGLEWO1 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 it was use to make the mold for the gpsr.... ...which one would last longer if dropped Quote Link to comment
+Renegade Knight Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 (edited) Great minds think alike. They had the right idea even back then. Edited November 3, 2006 by Renegade Knight Quote Link to comment
+The Mighty Shark Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 It looks like it could have been the start of stone age geocaching. I guess the only problem they had was where did the put the batteries Quote Link to comment
+Rosie's Rangers Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Is this what they used it to look for? Quote Link to comment
+wizard1974uk Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I dare you to send it to garmin and tell them that you can't update the firmware. Yeah, that would be funny Quote Link to comment

+The Forester Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 The one on the left is the new Garmin Cammo model. The one on the right is a cheap imitation. Quote Link to comment
+kewfriend Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 The one on the left is the new Garmin Cammo model. Its display is of course in stealth mode. The new Cammo model was developed at the request of NASA to assist the Space Shuttles in home location. I note from the product advertising literature that it can be dropped from a height of 3.7 US miles onto a semi rigid surface with no ill effects. It is powered by Geo-Thermal interior nuclear reactor developed in Iran with a 2GW output. This allows the personal tele-transportation device to be used by NASA astronauts to evacuate the shuttle in an emergency if required. Quote Link to comment
+studlyone Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 ....... It is powered by Geo-Thermal interior nuclear reactor developed in Iran with a 2GW output........ I'm going to have to give up kicking rocks when out and about - great find Quote Link to comment
+NickandAliandEliza Posted November 5, 2006 Author Share Posted November 5, 2006 (edited) I dare you to send it to garmin and tell them that you can't update the firmware. Noooooo. It's bad enough trying to get through to them at the best of times. Don't fancy being put on their 'hit' list of dodgy customers! Edited November 5, 2006 by Nick & Ali Quote Link to comment
