Guest alyee Posted November 18, 2001 Share Posted November 18, 2001 I'm curious about the addition features available in the GPS12 over the basic eTrex. GPS12 is an older design compared to the eTrex series, but it looks like a more "technical" model. Is the reception of GPS12 better than eTrex? Both unit cost the same from the local retail stores here, and the owner recommends GPS12. Quote Link to comment
Guest Dnmeistr Posted November 19, 2001 Share Posted November 19, 2001 I would rather get a 12xl than a 12, here is the difference between the two from Garmins website. The GPS 12XL has a port for hooking up an external antenna. It also features an audible alert that sounds when you approach waypoints (this can be deactivated) and a wider voltage range (10-40 Vdc) than the GPS 12 (5-8Vdc). They both feature PhaseTrac12 receivers and similar operating software. Dnmeistr Quote Link to comment
