geomania Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Hi everyone (again). Can anyone tell me what it's going to cost me to unlock the various bits of the MetroGuide Europe CD? Who's got the cheapest deal on these at the moment? Cheers G. Quote Link to comment

+jeremyp Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 When I bought Roads and Recreation I think it was about £50 and Metroguide was about £90. Metroguide has more features, but RR divides the map into smaller tiles (useful if you have limited memory in your GPSr). Software theft If everybody ripped off the software, Garmin would stop supplying it because it wouldn't be profitable. We all have total contempt for the people who break into our cars when we're out caching. There is very little moral difference between that and software theft. ------- jeremyp The second ten million caches were the worst too. http://www.jeremyp.net/geocaching Quote Link to comment
+Travers Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Maybe it's just me, but I still don't understand the reason for the map-downloading thingumy and why people see the need for it. Of course, if you're not hunting little plastic boxes, I'm sure it's most useful. Quote Link to comment

Not sure if they'er the cheapest but Global Positioning Systems (get to them via the Groundspeak link) has MetroGuide Europe at £99.99 and the Road & Recreations at £89.99, both inc. VAT but postage extra. John Wild Tupperware Hunter Quote Link to comment

Mark I can't remember - it was probably Amazon or GPS warehouse - also about a year ago. I remember it was definitely significantly cheaper than Metroguide - had MG been only £10 more, I would have bought it. ------- jeremyp The second ten million caches were the worst too. http://www.jeremyp.net/geocaching Quote Link to comment

I'd prefer it if, instead of ripping off Microsoft's software, people obtained it legally from one of its competitors. Not that I would suggest that all m$ software is bad. What I object to is the lemming like way that lots of people use to decide that they are going M$ and the way that M$ exploits that. ------- jeremyp The second ten million caches were the worst too. http://www.jeremyp.net/geocaching Quote Link to comment
