It looks like either these were returned items or Garmin decided to put a new case for all their refurbs. I still have the plastic screen protector on it. It works great! andy Link to comment

+user13371 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Sorta makes the Geomate.jr look a bit pointless doesn't it?You say that NOW... but just wait until refurbed GeMoate Jr.'s are on deep discount at Adorama or Overstock.com or Woot Link to comment
+LayL0w Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Just ordered one.I picked the 3 day ups,i cant wait =(. How many days did it take you to get it from when you ordered it till it arived with regular shipping? Link to comment
+butchseaman Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I ordered one of these ... could not pass it up at that price. sure hope it is what all i have read about it. Will let you know once i receive Link to comment
djklmnop Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 The 3 Day UPS is just the shipping method. Processing is always the same. 7-9 Days means ground shipping, but I think they just try to give you the impression that your order will take longer to process out of the warehouse, but I received my tracking number the very next day.

davidwile Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hey folks, I also just ordered one tonight - $69.95 with free shipping and no sales tax to Pennsylvania. The web site indicated it is supposed to come with a Garmin 1 year warranty. I sure hope so. Best wishes, Dave Wile Link to comment
+anne.and.eli Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 We just ordered one as well! Seemed like a great starter GPS and you can't beat that price! Link to comment
+cltinseattle Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I just ordered one of these refurbs today. Had been looking at them new for $170 so $70 for an "as new" refurb sounds pretty good. I hope all who have ordered these will continue to post on them after we receive them and begin using them. Link to comment
djklmnop Posted May 27, 2009 Author Share Posted May 27, 2009 I just ordered one of these refurbs today. Had been looking at them new for $170 so $70 for an "as new" refurb sounds pretty good. I hope all who have ordered these will continue to post on them after we receive them and begin using them. I did a 6 mile hike using this GPS to find two caches but didn't find them. Compared to my original Garmin Legend, the Venture HC is really responsive. I installed TOPO 2008 onto it but the arrow doesn't really line up against the streets, I think this is a software issue and not an issue with the device. I exported my tracks onto google earth and it was dead on. Link to comment
+Tenchi-kun Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Couldn't pass this deal up. I've got a friend that works at Garmin and could only get me one of these for $35 more than that, even for a refurb. Link to comment

+FatPants Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I dont need one, I'd been planning on getting a Legend HCx soon, but I ordered one anyways. I hope I like it! Link to comment
+dirtyju Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Got mine in today. The thing looks brand new and works great! Got me to about 5 feet from the first cache I tried it on. Link to comment
+Troop4scouter Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Does this have a built in compass? Link to comment
+LayL0w Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 Tried it out today found my first four catches.Got me really close to ground zero. Yes it has a compass but you got to be moving for it to work. Link to comment
djklmnop Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Nice Gearth.What's the best software for this devise? I just download the tracks from mapsource. Then I saved it as a GPX file, then i just opened the file in google earth. I don't know if there are better software to do all of these. Would welcome any tips. Link to comment
+HayfeverTX Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I just ordered one of these in hopes to save my Nuvi from further scrapes and bangs. Figure this will be a good starting point for me. Thanks for the link! Link to comment
ExclusiveTSX Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Just ordered one for my first GPS kind of confused on whether I will be able to use it for caching right out of the box, or if I can use it with my Mac, or what I would need to use it with my Mac for but I'm excited.. Link to comment
POLE POSITION Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Does this place also sell other models at such a highly discounted price? If so which ones? Link to comment
+Nighthawk700 Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Thanks! I just got back into Geocaching, now with my kids. My old Garmins aren't working III+ & V) I wanted something simple and cheap for them, and this fit the bill nicely. Of course they each want their own, but that's not happening. I was really surprised that the "Send to GPS" works with this, I thought it would only be the more advance models! Got a PN-40 for myself though. :-) Link to comment
+countrydirt Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 I ordered 1. I was not give the opportunity for free shipping, only the $39.95 insured mail. Sorry, but that is a deal breaker if shipping is over 50% of the cost of the unit. Bad business in my opinion Link to comment

+Frank Broughton Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Mine came in today and it works great. Looks brand new. Loaded it up with 498 traditional caches that are W, E, S, SE & SW (N is too urban) from me and it sits read to go. Will let my kids use this one while I use the 60csx. Glad I pulled the trigger before than ran out. The GEOjr seems to be the best next cheap deal available. Link to comment
+countrydirt Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Apparently I didn't kill the deal. I received my Venture today - 2 day shipping. Found 5 caches out here in No Man's Land after I loaded up the 278 caches and virtual caches listed on geocaching and Waymarking within 100 miles of me. I must say, for $70 and $40 shipping, it is a pretty cool toy! Link to comment
+coggins Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 They have another deal with rechargeable batteries and a charger for an extra $30: http://www.adorama.com/GPGETVEHCRK.html Looks like it's out of stock at the moment but worth saving for later... Link to comment
r2d2arm Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I got one of these at the $70 price. The Venture has served me well so far and is in great condition. Link to comment
+butchseaman Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Got my new VentureHC and this seems to be a great deal. works great and looks brand new. I would suggest getting one of these if you are looking for a basic GPSr Oz butchseaman Link to comment

+countrydirt Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Let me tell you. I found my first real cache today. I loaded a free topo map for the area we were in and it helped me find the cache! The topo has 14' lines and I was on top of it - 3 feet above the cache on a rock. Went around and found a well hidden can. It was so much fun! I am going to keep watching Adorama for another deal to get a Venture for my wife! Link to comment
