ride_bent Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 2 questions... Is the eTrex (Vista) users video any good? (I can get it for $12.00.) Is anyone using the USB/serial adapter? Is it faster than the serial connection when downloading a bunch of data? Thanks in advance! The best things in life are not things... Quote Link to comment
jfitzpat Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I've never seen the video, but a USB->Serial adapter won't make transfers any faster. The Vista will still be receiving the data via its built in UART at a max speed of 115K baud. -jjf Quote Link to comment
+Hawk-eye Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Can't say about the Vista video ... but if it is like a video of theirs for the 38 (long time ago) ... my first impression was "boy, I'm glad I didn't pay for this garbage!". It was more like a general geewiz type video and a bit like an advertisement. Just nothing to be gained from it. Quote Link to comment
DARC Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 I bought the Vista tutorial video. It is actually an Infommercial for the Etrex product line with some additonal segments that describe the Vista expanded features. It does not provide a tutorial on how to use the Etrex. More of an overview of features. Why did I buy it ? I'm a completist. Quote Link to comment
