Is it safe to buy an Oregon yet ?

[+Red90]

The 60CSx is still the best GPS by far, in terms of acquiring a signal, keeping it and giving an accurate position.

 

Again, I call BS. Let's see proof. I have carefully compared 60csx track log versus the CO in very poor conditions. No measurable difference. If anything, the CO was better. I suspect you are basing your opinion on "feelings" and not on science.

 

Which one is a 60csx and which is the CO??

I dare you to post a picture of your Colorado fully submersed in a fish bowl. That is well within the limit of what it is supposed to be capable of.

 

Will do tonight. No problem. As I stated, I have tested it thoroughly.

 

Be sure and show it powered on. Front and back shots.

 

Yesum.

Roger that!

...

The conclusion? Red90 needs new toothbrushes.

This test would have been more believable had the Pope been in attendance in this picture, grinning and giving two thumbs up.

 

As it stands, you have proved nothing, absolutely nothing!!!

 

Now, I dare Tequila to dip himself in Crisco oil, wrap himself in Saran Wrap, and sit in front of a TV watching That 70's Show, eating a tube of Pringles ( BBQ flavor ).

 

Come on, I double dare ya!

Using Google Earth to compare tracklogs, my 76CSx is usually a little better aligned than my Colorado 400t.

Also easier to read 76CSx screen on handlebars. Biggest issue for me is the inability of the Colorado to display more than one tracklog.

Ah, you see you took the shot at 5:52pm, when we all know they only leak after midnight

[+Tequila]

I commend you on taking up the dare. I certainly wouldn't have done it with a CO. All three units I had leaked in rain storms.

 

I still find the OR to be better designed. There is no small thin removeable o-ring that gets pushed every time the cover is replaced. And, for me, the OR, is much easier to use. Data entry is on a single screen and there is no wheel to have to rotate through looking for letters and numbers.

 

For the record, I don't like BBQ.

Bah, I'm not impressed. The original request was to submerge the unit in a fish bowl...I think by using a sink it skewed the results.

Plus I think that Red90 is using one of them there new-fangled invisible ziplock baggies.

I read one posting that said they loaded up 1900 geocaches!! Can the Oregon store more than 1000?

Yes, the Oregon (and teh Colorado as well) are both spec'ed to hold 2000 geocaches, plus 1000 waypoints.

[+hike4familyfun]

I read that it would hold only 200 gpx files.... If thats correct, don't download your caches one at a time Use GSAK or a pocket query!

Any brick and mortar stores where I can find an Oregon in Canada? I can find Colorado's easy enough.

The best deal ATM is GPSCity.ca which is in Calgary. Good service. No provincial sales tax...
