gallet Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) Took the HCx to the Grand Canyon (not the boring one in the USA) today for a 3 hour walk. I've plotted it against a topo map but I don't know how good the conversion is, as the track was uploaded into google maps using the Garmin Communicator test page and I lifted the track off that. This is a deep and narrow canyon where most of the way there are only glimpses of sky with heavy tree cover and glens, 200 metres deep including 100 metre cliff faces. Accuracy went down to about 40 metres a lot of the way but it never lost reception. click image for larger view Edited September 26, 2007 by gallet Quote Link to comment

gallet Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 great area !! I like it (3 sisters).... Yes it is spectacular, you must drop in next time you are in Australia. The Grand Canyon is quite a different experience to the usual Mountain view. Like this area very nearby... click image for larger view Quote Link to comment
