+chatmanais Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Cmon everyone - as an essential part of the hunt, your buddy (GPSr) has to have a name as an integral part of the team. I have a map 60Cs which i have named Midas. If anyone else has a similar affliction for naming inanimate objects, please let me know Quote Link to comment
+pigpen4x4 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Depends on how the hunt goes and how good a lock I have. Quote Link to comment

+DoubleBogie6 Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 We named the Iways 500 in the RV "Vergie Authur". It has a penchant for taking us to graveyards. Quote Link to comment

+JaeCee Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I don't think the name is all that important... I named mine Slartibartfast. I told you, it wasn't important. Quote Link to comment
+alanfreed Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I call mine Jeepus (pronounced "gee - pus")... just pronouncing GPS as it should be pronounced I'm always talking to it in the car while we're driving somewhere ("Jeepus won't mislead us!"). Quote Link to comment

Hikeamble Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I would have thought there could be only one name for a GPS, Gypsy. Quote Link to comment

Point Blank Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I call mine "my wife" because it tells me where to go and how to get there. Quote Link to comment
+hikerT Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I thought we were the only ones... Bob, Earl(named a cache after that one) and a brand new one I have not yet named. My PDA is a Sony Clie... named CLEO. Quote Link to comment
+wari Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 My Treo, named Thrall, looks for the BT GPS 10x, boringly named GPS 10x Quote Link to comment

TOLady Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Gopher.... as in go-fer it Quote Link to comment
+redwing57 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 "Gabby" She talks a lot (Garmin Zumo 550, mostly our Gold Wing guide, but works OK for caching too). The official Garmin voice file's name is "American - Jill", but we have a friend named Jill so didn't want any confusion. Quote Link to comment
+Rontro Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 My HCx is named GimmyG , however my megellen is named "InTHEdrawer" cause that is where it sits now. Quote Link to comment
+rain_man_rich Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 no name, but when i'm out i'm usually "gellen like a felon" Quote Link to comment
+tangelus Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 I call my Garmin 76CSx "Prince Garmin", as in "Prince Charmin' ". Quote Link to comment
+beerbrewer737 Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 My Vista is an American Indian, when asked which tribe it answered: "Where the Heckowee" . (Groan) My retired GPSr was named Hillary (Clinton) because I could not pin it down and was all over the map. Quote Link to comment
+Redwoods Mtn Biker Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I would have thought there could be only one name for a GPS, Gypsy. My wife wanted to name ours and I said it had to be a gypsy name. The only thing I could come up with was Zsa Zsa and it stuck. Quote Link to comment
+Trucker Lee Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I call mine "my wife" because it tells me where to go and how to get there. That's not fair. The GPS is probably inclined to be much more polite than the wife. I refer to my GPSr as "gizmo" in many logs. Quote Link to comment
+Flatouts Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 IT... That's what I call it... I can blame it for misleading us, I can blame it for all DNF's, I take pride in it when we nail it dead on, I'm always looking at it or looking for it, I depend on it all the time. Quote Link to comment
+Cache_advance Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Boringly enough, i just refer to mine as the Jeeps... A friend of mine once used that word when we were caching and it's stuck on me. Quote Link to comment
+JegMag Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 My Trex is Yellow, the 'new' Garman is Cadillac Jack. The car Gps -- one is Sweetie -- Sweetie travels with SW (short for SirWilson, the Wranger) , the other Toots -- she is installed in Mr. Hemi -- the big Jeep. Hey, we are harmless Quote Link to comment
