Paxo Parrot Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I just found this unit on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170915328935&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:GB:3160 So far, we've found 225 caches without a GPS, but one for only £17.99... Can't really say no can I??? I also found this video on Youtube Just have to wait 22 days for delivery. Quote Link to comment
Paxo Parrot Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Okay, the device has arrived today. It's currently charging up (takes 4 hours apparently), so I'll try it out tomorrow maybe. Anyways, if you follow the instruction sheet, it don't work. About an hour of fiddling, and several tries, I managed to work out how to program it. You can pre program 16 POI's. And although it seems to use WGS84, you have to program it with using the DDD MM SS.SSS format coordinates, but you have to miss off the last 2 digits off, so you're only using DDD MM SS.S It'll only be a guide anyways. I've never used one before on my first 228 finds. After all, less than £20 for a GPS? I've not been robbed. Quote Link to comment
sviking Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Get a real GPS unit and not a toy. Quote Link to comment
Paxo Parrot Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Define a real GPS? Anyways, the unit seems to work okay. Even under heavy tree cover, it still had full signal and got us to within 6 meters. Quote Link to comment
