TEAM KFWB GPS Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 In the days before the Garmin 76 units, you used to be able to run a cable between two Garmin uits and exchange iformation from one Garmin to another. With the Garmin 76, this very useful feature was eliminated. Now this operation has to be done with the use of a computer. Are there other cachers out there who would like to have this feature retained - or how about done with infra-red and no cables at all? Quote
+Goodguys Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 Sounds like you need a couple Rino's. (We know you don't - we just wanted to say that). But their ability to send and receive waypoints is one of their slickest features. Quote
Jomarac5 Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 I think an infra red feature would be great. Especially if it could communicate with my Palm device as well. Quote
Curious George Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 It would be great to be able to exchange (beam)info between GPS units, just like you can do with PDA's. And while you're at it - how about a GPS with voice recognition technology for enterining waypoints and commands, seriously, I think it would be great. I love the smell of tupperware in the morning...it smells like victory Quote
+canadazuuk Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Units should also be interactive with a geocaching site so that you can download your finds and field notes. canadazuuk Quote
jimmyjames Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 While your at it why don't we make some so thet the team can just send out their cache information via email/text messaging right to the handset. Quote
+LoneHowler Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 Oooh how about one with a web browser feature so you could log it as soon as you find it. and then look up the next one you want to hit More to see, More to do Quote
Trouble1&Alco Posted February 25, 2003 Posted February 25, 2003 We have two vistas. One older one that came with some really good regional maps. The other one is newer and just came with the base map. I wanted to transfer the maps from the older to the newer, but I couldn't figure out how to do that, so I emailed Garmin. I guess we have to buy $200 worth of maps from them inorder to do that with mapsource ! I would absolutely love to be able to transfer them directly, because I'm not terribly impressed with Garmin's maps of Canada. Quote

+canadazuuk Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Robert, Robert, Robert, did you buy hiking boots yet????? [This message was edited by canadazuuk on March 02, 2003 at 10:24 AM.] Quote
+RobertM Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 No hiking boots yet... it's on my list. I must admit though that my running shoes don't do too badly in the Canadian mountains / trails. Ask Jomarac5, he's seen my runners in action. [This message was edited by RobertM on March 02, 2003 at 12:37 AM.] Quote
+RobertM Posted March 1, 2003 Posted March 1, 2003 Wow, this topic changed pretty quickly. [This message was edited by RobertM on March 02, 2003 at 12:31 AM.] Quote

It also allows you to find other Rino users in the area and tells you exactly how far away they are and their bearing from you. If you want to sent a waypoint to them it takes some practice and you can send only one waypoint at a time. Thanks Rg Quote
