+GOT GPS? Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I like using a GPS V, and a Platinum for caching and etc. ---------------------------------------------------------- Pictures of the insides of my Old GPS V My Home Page about what is GPS Geoff - Geocaching, DiscGolfing & Rollercoasters Quote
+Rubberhead Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 GPS V and GPSmap 76S. I don't have either. Ducks - Flying, great tasting, geocaches of meat Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 A street pilot and the V until they shrink the 76S. Quote
+wickedsprint Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 A V and the Vista...oh wait..I do..lol Quote
+Searching_ut Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 So you're going to make me narrow it down to only two. Hmmmm, seems unfair. If I were going to get rid of all but two of my units, I would keep the Axim/CF GPS setup for street navigation, and detailed TOPO work. I'd keep the Legend for handheld use. Actually though, I'd probably use the money I got from selling the sportraks and GIII+ and get a vista to replace the legend. Quote

Tahoe Skier5000 Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Probably a Vista and a GPSMAP 76S... one of which I have. ----------------------------------------------------------- Garmin Vista Using Opera 7.1 Quote
+stu_and_sarah Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 We have 2 GPSr's, an eTrex Yellow, and a Legend. They're not the best combination, and I'd probably go for the Legend and something which can take an external antenna, and give a large map for car use - with the Legend for handheld. (We have both because we bought the yellow, and upgraded to the Legend later). Quote
martmann Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I have a Street Pilot III for the car, and an eTrex yellow for use while on foot. ___________________________________________________________ If trees could scream, would we still cut them down?

+TeamCNJC Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 On the other side of the fence, which looked greener when I was over there, I would choose a SporTrak Color for handheld use (and showing off), and a MeriGold to take advantage of unlimited memory with SD cards. I'm hoping that the new autorouting software lives up to the hype... -Craig/TeamCNJC ... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took off through the thorns, chest high, ... Quote
+robert Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I have a Magellan ST Color and a GPS315 but I'd rather add a Legend to replace the GPS315 just for the "alternate viewpoint". I'll still keep the iQue in the car to get there though. ~robert Notice: Driver carries less than $20 cache. Quote
dampeoples Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I used to have (last week )an eMap, GPSmap 76, GPSmap 175, and yellow eTrex. I did some horse trading and now have the GPSmap 76 and a Rino 120, they seem to suit my needs. I would like the GPSmap 176 (I think, mounted unit) for the boat, hooked to my Garmin fishfinder Check my scandalous stories, site, and my fishing skills Quote
+phantom4099 Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Well I already have two-three units (platinum, Magellan 315, and the Navman sleeve for my ipaq). I would like to get a V, and keep the platinum as my main units. But right know I am not sure what to do since Magellan is coming out with the new maps, and the V seems to have certain limitations that I don't like (19 mb, only 500 waypoints, 10 condensed tracks, electric compass...). But I love the high definition screen on the V (Which would be the main reason for me to upgrade). Wyatt W.

Bender Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 I have a sport trak map and a sport trak pro. I found the pro brand new for less than half price, I couldn't pass it up. Bender Searching, for the lost Xanadu Quote
+bigdaveoh Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 Hi All: Yep...2 for the road (uh.. cache) for me are Dell Axim X5 w/CF Slot GPS (BC307), Mapopolis and CacheDragon software and the Garmin II+. I use the Dell every where and the II+ is mounted in the truck (w/external ant) to attach to my laptop or Dell Axim. and BTW...Search UT, what topo are you using with your Dell??

+leatherman Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 I have the Platinum, and I would like the Street Pilot 2600. I also have the Map330 and a Rino 120. POWDER!!!!!! Quote
Cybo Posted September 20, 2003 Posted September 20, 2003 ANY 2 GPS units? Etrex Vista and StreetPilot 2610 (Mouth Waters). Quote
+quantumkid Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 I use a Brunton MNS for Geocaching,and a Garmin 76s for quad riding and trail.I love the dead on accuracy of the Brunton.The Garmin alows me to prints trails I've been on for future reference. Two Feathers Quote
+Searching_ut Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 quote: and BTW...Search UT, what topo are you using with your Dell?? Most of the time, I just use a photo viewer and downloaded topo or aerial photos of the area I'm interested in. No GPS functionality using that method however. I just recently purchased toposynce to allow my National geographic state series TOPO maps to work on my pocket PC. I haven't really given it much of a wring out though, so I can't say I'd recommend it yet. I'll try and give it a better workout this week now that my Axim seems to be up to speed now with the latest upgrade. I'll post here once I've wrung it out a little better, and if there is interest, maybe post a quick review on my webpage time permitting. (I haven't even moved on a travel bug yet I found 3 weeks ago now) Quote
Citizensmith Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 I'll go with the Trimble Pro XRS I've already got (accuracy under 2 foot but too heavy for geocaching) and the Legend I just bought. [This message was edited by Citizensmith on September 22, 2003 at 10:09 AM.] Quote
+ROCKY Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 StreetPilot III and eMap with 128MB card loaded with R&R, Topo and Metroguide. Quote
+bigdaveoh Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 One thought for Searching UT & the group: Navio GPS software has an option where you can import a pic/topo/sat view, and then specify coords by stylus touch, all done while the GPS is running on your PDA, the topo or pic, or what have you becomes somewhat accurate as a map. I have Navio and use it from time to time if I am going to a ruff-terrain area. I pull the aerial or topo images from terra-server. All for now, Safe Caching, Dave, Akron, Ohio Quote
+bigeddy Posted September 22, 2003 Posted September 22, 2003 For in-car use it's hard to beat an integrated OEM system--convenient and safe to use, big display, good reception and fast. Can't carry it with you, so a handheld of your choice is the other receiver. Of course, an OEM system costs a couple grand but it sure is nice. Quote
+Hawk-eye Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 ...er ... two huh? I think I'm over qualified ... I have this gadget problem! I have my very first Garmin 45 now a paper weight ... a 12XL, 12Map, a the two (Vista and 76S) that I use exclusively for travel/geocaching and backpacking, now.

Bobthearch Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 I'm absolutely satisfied with my lone machine, a GPSMAP76S. But if I could add a second, it would be: - a Palm with the GPS attachment (for applications) - an eTrex Vista (for lightweight) - a Meridian Platinum (was second-choice when shopping) - GPS V - or anything from Trimble Best Wishes, -Bobthearch Quote
+Team JBSS Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 We be totin' two our own selves... GPSMAP76 and a VISTA. Quote
+MaxEntropy Posted September 23, 2003 Posted September 23, 2003 A Streetpilot III for the cars and a Vista for my pocket. I really want that 24MB in the Vista so that I can store three maps at once. The Streetpilot would be great to have in the car because my wife gets lost easily. She calls me at work when she's lost so that I can walk her through with Yahoo maps.
