Guest William III Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 Me and the brother-in-law are going to get into this Geocaching thingy and i suggested a budget start with an eTrex. He says we can get an eTrex Venture from the states for about £110. How does the Venture rate? Does WAAS work here in England? Thanx in advance for any info. Please excuse me if these are very newbie questions, gotta start somewhere! Cheers Will. Quote Link to comment
Guest Lozsing Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 bear in mind that anything you buy from usa which has a value of about £17 or more is liable to 7% us tax and then 17-5% uk vat when bought into this country.Even when posted Quote Link to comment
Guest William III Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 Thanks for that information. So now the US is a no-no, where's the best place in the UK to buy? Will. Quote Link to comment
Guest Monz Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 Most of us have dealt with GPSW http://www.gpsw.co.uk and found them to be one of the cheapest, and efficient places to buy from... they are quite helpfull too. Quote Link to comment
Guest DoomSlayer Posted September 20, 2001 Share Posted September 20, 2001 I'll go along with Monz on that - extremely helpful ! Quote Link to comment
Guest William III Posted September 20, 2001 Share Posted September 20, 2001 Thanks for that guys, GPSW it is. Really exited about Geocaching & raring to go. In fact a cache is very close to my location and i could dig it up today, but i want to find it using GPS! Nerd or what? Cheers Will. Quote Link to comment
