ThomasFamily102 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 To help out a little bit. I have the same gps and it is amazingly accurate even in bad weather! Quote Link to comment
+doug4566 Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Got 1 too. I "upgraded" to a Bushnell Onix400.. My wife uses the Garmin 12 an has located 80% of the Caches since. You may want to hang on to it.. If not they are selling between $50 -$75 dollars. Some alittle more and some alittle less. VERY reliable unit.. Quote Link to comment
+Endorfun Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 (edited) I would add something as well. I too have had a Garmin GPS 12 XL as well as a 12. SOmething that is really wonderful about the GPS 12 (XL) is that it is an extremely rugged unit. I was wandering in the South Lake Tahoe region years ago along some glacial ridges when my hand just let go of the GPS 12 for no reason, I could only watch the unit bounce from rock to rock until it finally splashed into the lake far below. Three days later I came back with a 5 ml suit, fins and a mask and found it in 18 feet of near freezing water. Once on the surface dried and new batteries it worked, and it even tracked its final accent into the canyon as 41 mph and traveled just over 3/10 of a mile into the lake. No other unit I am sure can be as reliable. To this day I have one in my truck and another as a backup in my pack. Hang on to the 12, for what little you can sell it for it is worth far more as a reliable backup device. Edited January 25, 2010 by Endorfun Quote Link to comment
