+Team Chinook Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 11 finds, 1 DNF today along the Sonoma coast after abalone diving. The DNF turns out was due to the cache being pulled due to muggles. Eventually I got a battery low message and the last find took awhile. At what point do you give up due to error associated w/ battery? 11 finds on a colorado 400T...btw. T/C Quote Link to comment

T/C When it shuts down; at least that's my experience That might not be true of all GPSrs of course, but I've never encountered a situation with 3 different GPSrs where I thought low battery power was degrading performance. But that doesn't include the Colorado. Quote Link to comment
+twolpert Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Judging from track data, I have never seen Colorado position information degrade on low battery. This is true right up to the point where the units shuts down. Quote Link to comment
MtnHermit Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 For my two units, Venture Cx and Nuvi 205W, and based on tracklogs, the nuvi just shuts down whereas the Venture goes berserk. The tracklog looks like a sawtooth, fortunately the Venture's 32-hr battery life makes the sawtooth a rare occurrence. Quote Link to comment
+webscouter. Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I have noticed that my Colorado seems to only lock up when the batteries get low. Quote Link to comment
