+Renegade Knight Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 Color is cool with the topo. Anyone know if Battery life took a hit for the color? Wherever you go there you are. Quote
BotKeeper Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 Looks like Magellan wised up and recessed the buttons on the color unit. I've had too incorrect button presses with the Meriplat. Quote
cachethenation Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 I like that enter button on the color! Nathan & Anne Quote
+Marky Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 Hmmm... peers into the crystal ball Looks like there is a color sportrak in my future... Anyone want a sportrak pro cheap? --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote
+Marky Posted February 24, 2003 Posted February 24, 2003 Did anyone notice the Groundspeak looking color squares? Kinda funny. --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote

Hmmm... maybe a early birthday present (10 months early). as far as batteries go, I use rechargeable batteries, so that's not even a consideration. My record for number of caches found off of one set of charged batteries is 43. --Marky "All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer with a backlit GPSr" Quote
knot_lost Posted February 26, 2003 Posted February 26, 2003 Our supplier just received a few so I snagged one for myself. Should be in by Friday. Will let you how it looks... knot_lost Arggghh! Scratch that. He was going to send me a Meridian -- Has no date for the SporTrak Color yet. Sorry. [This message was edited by knot_lost on February 26, 2003 at 02:25 PM.] Quote

OntarioGuy Posted March 1, 2003 Author Posted March 1, 2003 Saweet ......... now if only amazon.ca offered those ........... Thats it ! Enjoy !! Quote
+nincehelser Posted March 22, 2003 Posted March 22, 2003 I've haven't been real impressed with the color displays on small battery-powered devices. The only way they look decent is if they are lit up, and of course that eats batteries like crazy. George Quote
+The Wombles Posted March 24, 2003 Posted March 24, 2003 Anyone know when the color is coming to the UK / Europe? And has anyone got one yet to tell me what it's like? Dave Quote
